School Overview

Dewolf Continuation High School, located on West Dakota Avenue in Fresno, is a specialized educational institution within the Fresno Unified School District. As a continuation school, its primary mission is to serve students who are at risk of not graduating or who require a more flexible, personalized environment than that offered by a traditional comprehensive high school. The school provides a smaller setting that allows for more individualized attention, helping students earn the necessary credits to return to a mainstream campus or, more commonly, to successfully complete their high school graduation requirements.

The program at Dewolf is designed to support students who may have faced academic, social, or personal challenges that hindered their success in a standard school setting. By offering a condensed and focused curriculum, the school aims to remove barriers to graduation and provide a path toward post-secondary opportunities. Through a combination of credit recovery, targeted academic support, and a supportive campus culture, Dewolf plays a critical role in the district’s efforts to ensure that all students have the opportunity to earn their diplomas and prepare for their futures despite prior setbacks.
