School Overview

Evergreen Continuation High School, located in Sylmar, California, is part of the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) and is designed to serve students who may benefit from a more flexible or specialized academic environment. As a continuation school, its primary mission is to provide an alternative path to graduation for students who have fallen behind in credit accumulation or who thrive better in a smaller, more personalized educational setting. The school focuses on credit recovery, academic support, and fostering a supportive community to help students overcome barriers and reach their goal of earning a high school diploma.

Beyond academics, Evergreen emphasizes social-emotional growth and the development of post-secondary readiness. By maintaining smaller class sizes, the faculty is able to provide more individualized attention and guidance, helping students develop the skills necessary for the workforce or higher education. The school serves as a crucial resource within the Sylmar community, offering a second chance for students to regain their academic standing and develop the confidence needed to succeed in their future endeavors.
