Irvington
High school is a name used in some parts of the world and particularly in North America, to describe the last segment of compulsory secondary education. It is preceded by primary education. High school is also the name used to describe the institution in which the final stage of compulsory education takes place. In the United States, high schools generally consist of grades 9, 10, 11 and 12, although the inclusion of grade 9 varies by school district.
Irvington High School is a high school located in Fremont, California. It was established in the year 1961 with a capacity of about 1,450 students. The principal of the school is Pete Murchison. The school mascot is the Viking which represents a warrior like nature with a curiously intriguing exploring side and the colors are blue or white. It is one of five 9 to 12 grade public high schools in the Fremont Unified School district. Major construction in 1968 resulted in the addition of a 350 seat theater, a second gymnasium and twenty two classrooms, which boosted school capacity to 2,150. The 44 acre campus is located in Irvington, the south central district of Fremont.
The school was not a school with high academic achievements. It has been said that the sole reason for Irvington's recent development in that category was the transfer of students from Weibel elementary school. Weibel has made a positive change on Irvington's test scores, being only a small portion of Irvington's students. A much greater possibility was that the students from other schools served as examples and the inspiration was enough to raise Irvington's academic achievement. Irvington's athletics have had a very poor showing at many matches and competitions among teams from different league.
The school is still developing its talent in many sports, as it struggles to find skilled and sportsmanship like individuals to join the many athletics programs offered during the three athletic seasons. But steadily, the status is changing. Irvington's school newspaper is called the Voice which has a history of excellence in journalism. The mission of Irvington High School is to provide their students equal opportunities to grow along with all round development. The students acquire knowledge in a unique way resulting in the development of values which are essential for future success.
