Welcome to the Credence High School website! My name is Tom Ready, Principal of Credence. The Lassen Union High School District offers a system of educational programs designed to meet the differing needs of all students in the Susanville area. 

 

The educational program at Credence offers an alternative to the comprehensive educational and extra-curricular program at Lassen High School. In smaller classroom settings our faculty of subject-matter specialists offer traditional direct instruction, online courses, and “blended” courses mixing direct teaching along with online lessons.

 

Our goal is to offer students an alternative to the traditional high school environment, allowing students to get caught up on classes in order to obtain a diploma after four years of high school. Similarly, student may also accelerate at Credence in order to graduate with a diploma in less than four years.

Our curriculum is standards-based, and our assessment system is aligned with all the district’s other programs. We are embarking on reviewing our curriculum and aligning the district courses and assessments with the federal Common Core Standards. Additionally, we test 9^th and 10^th graders three times each year to measure academic growth in English and Math with the Measure of Academic Progress (MAP) tests. This testing system allows us to measure the academic growth of each student and assess their growth with a national norm for students at each grade level.

 

We look forward to working with all our students’ parents as a team to support these young adults in a productive, educational experience. We invite you to meet with the teachers, administrators, counselors and to visit classrooms. Additionally, we invite parent participation in site and District planning through the School Site Council that helps set school goals and monitors school achievement.
