School Overview

Palisades High School in Calistoga is a public continuation high school designed to serve students who require a more flexible, personalized approach to education than what is typically provided in a traditional high school setting. As a continuation school, its primary mission is to support students who may be at risk of not graduating, offering an alternative environment that focuses on credit recovery, academic catch-up, and individualized instruction. The small-school atmosphere allows for closer student-teacher relationships, enabling staff to tailor their support to meet the specific social, emotional, and academic needs of each learner.

The school is an integral part of the Calistoga Joint Unified School District, emphasizing the importance of keeping all students on the path toward a high school diploma. By offering a smaller classroom setting and a curriculum geared toward self-paced learning, Palisades High helps students overcome barriers to academic success. Ultimately, the school provides a vital pathway for students to regain confidence, earn their credits, and graduate prepared for post-secondary opportunities or the workforce.
