La Habra High School staff work diligently to promote a safe, comfortable
campus students for all students.
Students arrive to school daily with different needs and experiences. Students
are responsible for their own
actions and are expected to behave in a manner supportive of a positive
learning environment. The following
behavioral expectations are held for La Habra High School students:
Showing respect and courtesy for the rights and feelings of others.
Behaving in a way that creates a positive learning environment.
Controlling behavior on campus and in the walkways so that classes in session
are not disturbed.
Behaving in a way to maintain the pride and good reputation of La Habra
High
School or at any school-related function.
Helping to maintain a clean, healthful campus.
Obeying all reasonable requests made by instructors, administrators, or other
school employees.
Students are encouraged to behave responsibly and respectfully, when
interacting with fellow students as well
as with all staff members. Students trained in conflict management as well as
staff members are available to
assist and direct students in areas of problem resolution. Each campus within
the Fullerton Joint Union High
School District also retains a School Resource Officer (SRO), a city police
officer assigned to the school site.
The SRO frequently assists in conflict mediation and positive student efforts
to resolve interpersonal issues. It
is our goal to assist students as they make positive strides rather than to
discipline students after they have
crossed into inappropriate behaviors.
