At John R. Wooden High School, we take pride in offering our students a dynamic learning environment that is sensitive to the needs and abilities of our diverse student body. Students are challenged to succeed as active learners and are held to rigorous academic standards.

In addition to completing textbook assignments, every student in a social studies class is required to participate in classroom discussions as well as completing projects in support of his or her learning.
