From the School

EPAA high is a small charter in partnership with the SUHSD and the Stanford GSE.

What makes EPAA so special is our dedication to all of our students and their pursuit of their dreams despite any and all obstacles. Many of our students are first generation U.S. residents and en route to becoming the first in their families to graduate from high school with the opportunity to attend college with a scholarship. In addition to all that we do to support the road to college we also have a College Success Counselor who follows our students through college graduation.
