Principal’s Wildcat Watch - From Dr. Alvarez
This is an exciting time for our seniors, who are choosing their next steps between college, university, trade school, military, work force, and more! It is also time for Prom, which is the unofficial start to the end of the school year. From here, we have awards and scholarship events, end of the year celebrations, then senior checkout, commencement ceremony, and then summer! I am so very proud of all Wildcats choosing the next steps of their lives. I am confident these students will continue to represent Ukiah, ICPC, and all the great things about our community wherever they land.
Thank you to all the families, staff, and community members that make their achievements possible.

Summer School
Summer school enrollment is for Ukiah Unified School District high school students who are identified as credit deficient. Students may earn up to 10 credits. Courses will be offered in person at Ukiah High School either through classroom instruction or guided instruction using Cyber High. Students should work closely with their academic counselor to prioritize the course they take.
Parents will be notified if their child is selected to attend summer school and classroom assignments will be posted the first day of summer school. Transportation may be limited and is not guaranteed.
The high school summer school program includes directed study, which is a support for students with disabilities who need credit recovery for graduation.
