I want to extend a warm welcome to all of our new students and their families. We are thrilled to have you join the Irvine High School community and we look forward to getting to know each and every one of you. The transition through high school and into the future is exciting, complex, rewarding and filled with opportunity and hope.  At Irvine High School, emphasis is placed on helping students realize their individual interests, abilities, and special talents.  

To our returning students, welcome back!  I hope you have had a great summer break.  You have already experienced the wonderful opportunities Irvine High School has to offer, and I am hopeful that you make the most of the upcoming school year.  It is always important to pursue your passions and push your boundaries.

Our culture is founded on the values of Integrity, Honoring Self and Others, and Social Responsibility for while the definitions have been defined by our students who also understand that these values are at the forefront of what it is to be an Irvine Vaquero.  We are committed to providing every student a nurturing environment where each student can thrive academically, socially, and emotionally. 

One of our unique features that allows for greater student success involves our Teacher Advisement Program and the unique block schedule that Irvine High provides.  We encourage students and parents/guardians to communicate with teachers, counselors, and teacher advisors as they plan and arrange their high school career.  

Parents and Guardians, I want to express my gratitude for your ongoing support and collaboration.  Your involvement in your child’s education is extremely valuable.  Together, we can foster a strong partnership to ensure the success and well being of our students.  One of our strengths at Irvine HIgh School is we celebrate our diversity, promote kindness, and treat one another with respect.  It is part of our core values that we celebrate on a daily basis.  

As I mentioned with this being our 50th anniversary I am excited for the opportunities and memories that we will all make together during the 24-25 school year!  I wish you all successful and enriching academic year. 

Dr. Hernandez
