Welcome to the 2018-2019 school year at La Habra High School (LHHS), a 2018 California Honor Roll Award Winner, California Distinguished School, National Blue Ribbon Nominated School, four time Golden Bell Winning, Newsweek Top 1000 High Schools in the Nation, plus seven straight US News Best Schools Silver Medals! We are looking forward to having you join and continue the rich Highlander history and traditions established over the past 64 years. It is an honor to serve as your Principal for the past eight years.

Our diverse academic programs, successful athletic programs, extracurricular, and co-curricular activities provide students with additional opportunities to connect with LHHS. High school students achieve high levels of success by getting involved, feeling connected, and developing pride in their school and community. Involvement in academics, athletics, the arts, and activities makes school meaningful and relevant; this is essential to high student achievement and LHHS takes great pride in having such high student involvement and well-rounded students.

We encourage parents to get involved in PTA, booster clubs, Grad Nite, and join other committees throughout the coming school year to increase communication and build a stronger partnership with LHHS’ outstanding student body, staff, and community. Our desire is to be partners in your student's education and work together for student success. Please continue to check our website frequently as well as following us on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram to stay updated and celebrate our great school.  

On behalf of our faculty and staff members, we extend a warm welcome to all students and their families and appreciate your continued support of our school. GO HIGHLANDERS!

Karl R. Zener, Ed.D

Principal
