Principal's Message
The purpose of El Camino High School is to provide our students with an alternative education. Our mission is to develop within our students an awareness of their responsibilities to become productive contributing members of society and work enthusiastically toward their full potential.
El Camino takes great pride in servicing our students and for its efforts has been recognized as a Model Continuation School by the state of California. It is our goal to assist students in recouping credits so that they can either return to their home school or graduate at El Camino.
