Duarte High School has partnered with the Los Angeles County Office of Education to become a Community School. The purpose of a Community School is to build equity for students by highlighting areas of need and leveraging community resources so that students are healthy, prepared for college, and career and civic ready.

As part of the Community Schools Initiative, Duarte High School has been provided with a full-time Program Specialist to coordinate services from participating agencies and a full-time Educational Community Worker to support parent engagement. Both individuals work closely with Duarte High staff.
