First I would like to take this opportunity to wish you and your family a very Happy New Year! 

 

The new year presents many challenges as well as many opportunities for the Oroville Union High School District. The opportunities are centered around the California High School Exit Examination (CAHSEE) and the California Standards Tests (STAR). Results from both tests are used to determine if schools meet instructional targets as determined by both the State and Federal government. Positive performance on these tests could move our schools out of program improvement status.

 

 We are currently preparing for all of our tenth graders to take the California High School Exit Examination (CAHSEE) on February 7^th and 8^th. CAHSEE is a graduation requirement for all California students enrolled in a public high school. There are two parts to the CAHSEE, English-Language Arts and math. Students need to score at least 350 on each section to pass.
