Hachette Book Group is a leading book publisher based in New York and a division of Hachette Livre, the third-largest publisher in the world. The foundation is 100% volunteer-run, and 100% of every dollar raised goes to direct program spending. The elaborate ornamentation on the school is likely due in part to the visual proximity to the nearby Mission Dolores Basilica, which features towers and ornamentation in the Churrigueresque architectural style.

Beginning in the Fall of the 2007/08 school year, the Mission faculty collectively created a working definition of Anti-Racist/Equity education: Anti-Racist/Equity Teaching promotes respect for diversity and creates a context within which students' experiences can be understood, appreciated, and connected to the curriculum. The New Mission Library is getting a complete renovation, including a new book collection coming from the district. This is a friendly reminder to please join us for our next (SSC) School Site Council Parent meeting and our (ELAC) English Language Advisory Council Meeting on Wednesday, February 7 at 6:00-7:00 p. We employ current and recent college students, our College Success Advisors (CSA’s) to advise our high school seniors during the college application process.

Two murals showing the founding of nearby Mission Dolores still survive, while the third was lost during a 1970s seismic retrofit. According to this number, Mission High is a “low-performing” school even though its college enrollment, graduation, attendance rates and student surveys are some of the best in the country. We create and cultivate a college-bound culture on campus to provide access to one-on-one mentoring, individualiz ed college counseling services, college persistence programs to support students to and through college, and college summer school programs. Everything we do, in some way, goes directly toward helping make sure every student graduates fully prepared for college or for success in the next stage of their lives. Advanced Placement For All: We encourage all students, starting in 10th grade, to enroll in AP courses.

We are striving to be creative and innovative in our instruction to engage students in their learning through a variety of different activities, applications of technology, and 21st Century skills.Serving grades 9-12, Mission is the oldest high school on its original site in San Francisco; [6] it has been on 18th Street, between Dolores and Church, since 1896. Our welcoming community aspires to build a more just school, where every student is supported to explore and develop their individual path after high school.
