The School and Community
Robertson High School is the only continuation high school serving the five comprehensive high schools in the Fremont Unified School District. Robertson has been serving the Fremont community since 1980.

Fremont, California is located in the heart of Silicon Valley and welcomes families from various culturaland socioeconomic backgrounds. Fremont is a suburban city in the Bay Area/Silicon Valley and is composed of families from all socioeconomic and cultural backgrounds. The Robertson faculty provides a nurturing and positive environment for students to thrive personally and academically. This enables students to reach their goal of academic success through course completion and graduation.

The Unique offerings of Robertson High School Robertson High School is a small learning community, where students receive extra support and resources to succeed academically. We provide an alternate route for students to graduate high school who have encountered difficulties in traditional high school settings. We understand each student has different needs. The RHS staff meet students at their level, create a strong foundation, and build up. This supportive culture is possible because of the strong relationships between staff, students, and families.

Although the students may come from different backgrounds and experiences, they come together and work towards their common goals as a community.

Our Mission
Our mission is to engage, challenge, and support our students as individuals in an equitable educational environment where they develop internal belief and external skills to thrive beyond earning a high school diploma.

COVID-19 Impact
Shelter in place went into effect on March 13, 2019 and students completed the remaining part of 2019 as well as the 2020-2021 school year virtually. The school board adopted a Credit/No Credit grading policy for the second semester of the 2018-2019 school year as a result of the rapid transition from in-person instruction to virtual learning. The 2020-2021 school year began as 100% distance learning district-wide with synchronous and asynchronous instruction. The graduation requirement for service learning was removed for the 2020 and 2021 graduates and reduced for 2022, 2023, and 2024 graduates.
