School Overview

Corona-Norco Alternative, frequently associated with Lee V. Pollard High School, is an educational institution located in Corona, California, within the Corona-Norco Unified School District.

Through its specialized curriculum and supportive staff, the institution aims to prepare students for post-secondary success, whether that includes entering the workforce, enrolling in community college, or pursuing vocational training. By prioritizing student-centered instruction, the program helps remove traditional barriers to graduation, ensuring that all students have a viable path to earning their credentials and achieving their long-term goals.
