Principal’s Message
Greetings Vail Vikings,
Welcome to Vail Highs School, Model Continuation School and WASC Accredited! My name is
Naomi Sotelo and am currently Principal of Vail Continuation High School. I have been a proud
employee of the Montebello Unified School District as a classified and certificated employee
since 1997 and am honored to be back serving the students, staff and community of Vail!
Our staff is committed to the Vail Way: attendance, grades and behavior, achieved through
academic and social emotional well-being of our students. Our goal is to make them college and
career ready, productive citizens of the global community and life-long learners. We ensure
that every student, including our English Language Learners, are focused on graduating high
school and have started making plans for their future. Our teachers receive ongoing
professional learning opportunities in the use of evidence-based instructional practices, English
Language Development (ELD), technology and 21st century skills to develop critical thinkers,
collaborators, communicators and creators. Teacher development is continuously occurring
through our Professional Learning Community/Data Teams. Our advisory period supports the
development of our goals.
We are proud of our ASB and all the wonderful activities that our students may participate in
such as prom, Grad Nite and our All-Stars after school program. Students are also able to
participate in college and tech school field trips.
Parent involvement in our school and the lives of our students is also of utmost importance.
Parents are the primary teachers of our students; and our mission is to work as a team for the
betterment of our students’ academic success. Our doors are always open to our parents. Vail
High School offers various forums for parent participation from campus tours, Back to School
Night, parent conferences, Open House, parent workshops, our parent committees: ELAC, SSC
and Community Schools participation.
As we continue to work as a team, please feel free to call, email or come by to speak with me at
[email protected] or 323-887-3005.
Sincerely,
Ms. Sotelo
Principal
