Cesar E. Chavez High School has been selected by California as a 2024 National ESEA Distinguished School in acknowledgment of the success of our educational programs. This prestigious honor, awarded to only two schools per state each year, celebrates the outstanding efforts and the incredible progress of our students. The National ESEA Distinguished Schools Program is a project of the National Association of ESEA State Program Administrators (NAESPA) that publicly recognizes schools for their positive educational advances. The recognize school based on outstanding performances in one of the three categories: Category 1-Exceptional student performance and academic growth for two or more consecutive years, as determined by each state, Category 2-Closing the achievement gap between student groups for two or more consecutive years, as determined by each state, or Category 3-Excellence in serving special populations of students (e.g. homeless, migrant, English learners, etc.) Being names a National ESEA Distinguished School is a prestigious honor, as each state can only select two school annually. This award celebrates the outstanding performance and commitment of school, staff, and students. Watch the congratulatory video from the NAESPA President.
