Welcome to Claremont High School Home of the Wolfpack

Spring is here, so testing season is here as well: AP, IB and CST (STAR). CST testing will begin on Tuesday, April 24th. The importance of the CSTs cannot be overly emphasized.  While a school’s performance on standardized tests is only a small brush stroke on the overall canvas, it is nonetheless an important one.  Student scores on the CSTs are used to calculate our school’s Academic Performance Index (API), which is one indicator used by the community, institutions of higher education, as well as state and federal departments of education of how well Claremont High School is performing. Please have a conversation with your student about the importance of CST testing.

 Many of our extracurricular and co-curricular groups continue to excel this spring. 

• Girls Varsity Soccer Team won CIF Division III Title
• The California State Thespian Festival was held in March. Over 1,100 high school Thespians attended from 70 California High Schools. Over ten CHS students won awards at this event.
• CHS Speech and Debate clinched the League Championship for the 6th year in a row. CHS Speech and Debate has qualified 29 students to attend the California State Championship. Twenty-nine qualifiers is a CHS record!
• The CHS Jazz Ensemble received 1st place at the Western States Jazz Festival and received a superior rating.
• CHS Girls Varsity Tennis Coach Tom Spinosa was selected by the California Coaches’ Association as Tennis Coach of the Year for 2011-12.
