School Overview

Mt. Olive Innovation and Technology High (often referred to as Mt. Olive High) is a specialized alternative education institution located in Duarte, California. As part of the Duarte Unified School District, the campus is designed to serve students who may benefit from a non-traditional academic setting. The school focuses on providing a personalized learning environment that emphasizes student growth, credit recovery, and the development of essential life and career skills, helping students who might be at risk of falling behind stay on track for graduation.
