Prospect High School (PHS) is a four-year public high school of the Campbell Union High School District, located at the intersection of Lawrence Expressway and Prospect Road in the northeastern corner of Saratoga, California, on its border with San Jose. It serves northern Saratoga, the eastern portion of West San Jose, and western Campbell. The school principal from the 2012-13 school year onwards is Joell Hanson, who served as vice principal for years under Diane Burbank. The majority of the students from Moreland Middle School and the Moreland School District feed into Prospect.
Prospect is dedicated to high standards of performance. Its curricula are continually evaluated and modified to reflect the needs of students and to assure that all students are challenged and supported in their academic growth. For the college bound student, Prospect offers numerous honors and Advanced Placement classes, surpassing California State University and University of California requirements. Vocational and technical coursework is offered through the elective program on campus and the Central County Occupational Center. In addition, the Special Education and English Language Development programs foster the spirit of full inclusion through mainstreaming and Specially Designed Academic Instruction in English (SDAIE) classes—other student support services include AVID, Homework Center, Math and English Workshops, Reading Intervention, and Title I. Ninety-four percent of Prospect's graduating seniors report that they will enroll in a two or four-year college or university.
In 2011, Prospect became the first school in the Campbell Union High School District to adopt Naviance, bolstering the campus College and Career Center with this guidance software. In addition to this, Prospect offers a varied curriculum, offering nine Advanced Placement and eighteen total Honors-level courses. Unique to Prospect are the Astronomy class, made possible by the easily recognized dome telescope; the Mandarin class, new for the 2012-13 school year and only offered at Prospect within CUHSD, the Accounting class in the Applied Arts department; and the Advancement Via Individual Determination (AVID) program. Connections to West Valley College via the Middle College and College Advantage programs give college-bound high school students a jump on college admissions and credits.
