Dear Students, Parents, and Community Members,

Welcome to the 2025/2026 school year! I am proud and honored to be serving as the Principal at Sylmar Charter High School and to continue the rich tradition of Spartan excellence. I am eager to assist students and families with the realization of their goals of college and career readiness.  Our faculty and staff design meaningful learning activities for each student, deliver high-quality instruction, and we are committed to provide the support necessary to meet students where they are in their pursuit of academic excellence.

Our school has a long tradition of excellence, and every year we work hard to make things even better for our students and families. This year, our goal remains the same: to support every student on their journey toward graduating college and career ready. Whether your child plans to attend a four-year university, start at a community college, or learn a skilled trade, we want them to leave Sylmar confident, prepared, and “Ready for the World.”

Parent participation is one of the keys to academic success.  As students reach their high school years, parent engagement in their child’s education is a difference-maker in the web of support young adults need to reach their potential in the preparation for college and career.  Your active participation in your child’s education is critical to their success.  All students are provided a dedicated device to ensure connectivity and equitable access to digital resources. 

Sylmar Charter High School maintains an active parent center and provides multiple opportunities for parent engagement.  I encourage you to visit our web page often at www.sylmarhs.org for updates and important information.  Parents and guardians have the opportunity to serve as a volunteer, site counsel participant, and ALL parents should activate and regularly use their LAUSD PASSport account to safely and securely monitor their child’s attendance, grades, and progress towards meeting A-G requirements.  Sylmar Charter High School offers a variety of resources for both students and parents on site and with our community partners.  Please check the calendar of parent workshops under the "Parents" tab on our website.  I also invite you to join me monthly in our parent center for "Coffee with the Principal" where I will provide timely, relevant information and updates in support of our student's and family's success.

I look forward to meeting each one of you and welcome your input on how we can together propel Sylmar Charter High School to even greater heights.  Please look out for my weekly phone messages and emails regarding important school information and upcoming events.  We are very appreciative of our community’s engagement as we show our Spartan Pride in support of our academic, athletic, and extra-curricular programs.  Thank you for choosing Sylmar Charter High School as your pathway to higher education and career success!

Sincerely,

Rodney Wright
