Western High School

What Western High School does

Western High School (legal name: Western Orangeview 7-12 School) is a public school within the Anaheim Union High School District (AUHSD), located at 501 S. Western Ave., Anaheim, California. It serves students in grades 7-12 under a unified 7-12 model that consolidates what were previously separate middle and high school programs, providing a continuous academic pathway. The school is part of a California public school district and is operated by the AUHSD Board of Trustees, with Lorena Moreno as Principal and Kimberly Idio and Gina White as Assistant Principals.

The school offers core academics (English, Mathematics, Science, History/Social Science) with honors course options, Career Technical Education (CTE) pathways in Computer Science, Animation & Digital Media, Multimedia, and Advanced Digital Technologies, and a college readiness track including AVID and dual enrollment with Cypress College. Student support services include an Advisory program pairing each student with a caring adult, English Language Development (ELD), MTSS, after-school tutoring, and a counseling department staffed by grade-level counselors. The Independent Learning Center (ILC) provides an alternative education program with group play therapy for social/emotional at-risk students. The school also operates athletics, diverse student clubs, library services through The Hub, and a health office. The technology stack is composed of standard ed-tech platforms (Aeries SIS, eKadence digital classroom, MackinVIA library resources, ParentSquare communications, Google Apps for Education, StopIt, and Thrively) rather than proprietary systems.

The school does not generate revenue in the commercial sense. It is funded by state apportionment, local property taxes, and federal grants flowing through AUHSD, and education services are provided free of charge to students. The only direct fees identified are a $10-$11 annual PTSA membership. Strategic partnerships include Cypress College (dual enrollment), Anaheim Public Library (via the AUHSD Pledge Partnership granting blanket access to digital resources), and College Board (AP/SAT programs). The customer base is geographically concentrated in Anaheim, California, with no enrollment-based concentration in any single commercial customer.
