CA Charter Schools Assn Recognizes Sac High for Black Student Performance
Kitty O'Neal

Sacramento Charter High has made it its mission “to graduate self-motivated, industrious, and critically thinking leaders who are committed to serving others, passionate about lifelong learning and prepared to earn a degree from a four-year college.”

The school requires scholars to engage in a variety of extra-curricular activities throughout their four years at the school. As a result, students understand they must utilize every moment of their days productively engaged in academics or worthy extracurricular activities – which often translates into more time at school.
