“Dear Bret Harte Community,
We are excited to welcome you to another great year at Bret Harte High School! The start of the school year often comes with a mix of emotions, but please know that our staff is eager, prepared, and committed to teaching and inspiring your students.
We'd also like to make you aware of upcoming Caltrans construction that may affect traffic around the high school. According to Caltrans: 'Construction is expected to take approximately 14 months. Caltrans will construct a new intersection signal, curb ramps, and sidewalks. Motorists can expect nighttime, one-way traffic control for the first week (beginning August 3, 2025), from 9:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m.'
This project may cause delays during student drop-off and pick-up, and we anticipate limited access to the Theater Parking Lot on Main Street. We encourage all families to plan accordingly and allow extra time when traveling to and from campus.
Thank you for your understanding and support. We look forward to a successful school year together!”
Jacob Holt, principal
