Lynbrook High School embraces a philosophy of equal access and high expectations for all. We base relationships on trust and integrity. We nurture citizenship and leadership potential and focus it on serving others. We make responsible decisions through group participation and team building—all of which ultimately inspire a passion for learning.
        Lynbrook High School offers a well-rounded educational program to students residing in the northern portion of the City of Saratoga and the northwestern corner of the City of San Jose. Located in Silicon Valley, the school serves many students whose parents are employed by “high tech” companies. A four-year comprehensive high school, Lynbrook was given a full six-year state accreditation in 2004 by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges; recognized as a California Distinguished School in 1990, 1994, 1999, and 2003; and has been recognized nationally. The school is a leader in the use of technology by students and teachers. The bell schedule provides extended time for interactive lessons and twice-weekly schoolwide tutorial sessions within the school day, providing time and places for personal contact between students and teachers. The Lynbrook community is proud of the school’s open access to honors and advanced placement classes, which allows students to challenge themselves. Through a partnership with the City of San Jose, a Homework Center staffed by two teachers offers tutorial services and supervised use of computers in the school’s library for two days a week from 3–5pm.
        Lynbrook High School places an emphasis on communication within its community. Through A+Board, a web-based, interactive vehicle for two-way communication, our community receives a weekly principal’s message with calendar updates, special schedule and event notification. This creative communication and organizational tool also provides an avenue for teachers to publish classroom assignments on a personalized student calendar; allows for students to submit their work to teachers; and provides a private posting of progress reports and final semester grades available to students and their parents. The community is able to freely communicate through email and voicemail with the entire staff. The Principal’s Newsletter is mailed to parents four times a year. Each issue is also posted on Lynbrook’s webpage, along with school booster group information, calendar of events on our campus, and information on how to contact staff. The parent community is always welcome to come to school to meet with any staff member.
        Lynbrook High School boasts an outstanding co-curricular program, including state and national award-winning music, drama, dance, speech, chess and mathematics competition teams. Field hockey, volleyball, and badminton teams are among the many athletic programs that have achieved special recognition. A brand new field house, new Olympic-sized pool, and renovated gymnasium serve our many athletic programs. Link Crew, an award-winning peer tutoring program, a staff-run Student Assistance Team, and more than 50 student-run clubs and organizations give all students an opportunity to be connected with Lynbrook High and provide additional support for students and parents. The Associated Student Body sponsors weekly activities during lunch and brunch, spirit weeks, a traditional Homecoming Week, and monthly school dances and evening events.
        Continuous improvement is the goal of Lynbrook’s school planning, supported by our teacher-led staff development team and scheduled weekly staff development and collaboration time. The entire staff works to ensure that all students possess the skills necessary to compete in a technological society and become self-directed learners as well as ethical and responsible members of society. Toward this, staff is implementing character based education lessons at all grade levels to educate students about the consequences of their academic decisions.
