East Palo Alto Academy

East Palo Alto Academy is a special place. This small charter school (now a dependent of Sequoia Union High School District) is designed to cater to the specific needs of students in the East Palo Alto region and to get them college-​ready. Historically, this neighborhood has faced struggles with many social issues, yet at EPAA students can find themselves in a safe haven in which their education can thrive.
The staff is composed of a tight-​knit group of amazingly dedicated teachers, admin and support team. Not one of these individuals would hesitate to go the extra mile in order to help the EPAA student body. While this may sound rather like a description of any public high school staffed by dedicated educators, there is something extra-​special happening on the EPAA campus that makes it a great place to learn and a great place to work.
Many students give tremendous credit to the school when they achieve success later in life, but personally, I feel that this school has also helped to transform me into a far stronger educator and generally a better person.
To any prospective students and families, without a doubt, Bulldog City is the place to be.
