A Note From the Principal

May 11, 2026

Dear CAH families,

A reminder, we have two upcoming Athletic Department events taking place this month. These events are a great opportunity to connect, celebrate, and prepare for the upcoming athletic seasons.

On Monday, May 11th, 5-6:30 pm, we will host our Fall Sports Night. This event will provide families and student-athletes with their first opportunity to learn more about our fall sports programs, including Football, Flag Football, Girls' Volleyball, and Cross Country. Attendees will have the chance to meet our coaching staff, review important dates and expectations, learn about summer workouts, and ask any questions as we prepare for the fall season.

On Monday, May 18th, 5 -7 pm, we will host our annual All Sports Banquet. This special evening is dedicated to celebrating the accomplishments of all CAH athletic teams across the fall, winter, and spring seasons. During the event, we will recognize scholar-athletes, championship teams, and individuals who earned outstanding honors throughout the year. We will also present our Male and Female Athlete of the Year as well as Stingray Strong awards. Light appetizers and drinks will be provided as we come together as a community to honor our student-athletes.

In grateful partnership,

Samantha Martinez

Principal, Coastal Academy High School

REMINDER: As a California independent study school, we are required to offer synchronous (live) instruction opportunities for students. This provides a chance for students to connect with a credentialed teacher in real time for academic support. In the 4-day program at Coastal Academy High School, synchronous (live) instruction opportunities are offered through Monday mentoring opportunities. Our independent study program offers separate synchronous touch points with teachers that can be scheduled directly with your I.S teacher. If you would like more information about times available to your student, please reach out to their advisory teacher directly.
