The School Site Council (SSC) develops the School Plan for Student Achievement for programs funded through the consolidated application. The members of the SSC represent the composition of school’s pupil population and notwithstanding the size of the school, the composition of the SSC shall ensure parity between the groups (EC Section 65000[a]). Any meeting held by the SSC shall be open to the public, and any member of the public shall be able to address the council or committee during the meeting on any item within the subject matter jurisdiction of the council or committee (EC Section 35147[c][1]).

The English Learner Advisory Committee (ELAC) is a school-level committee comprised of parents, staff, and community members designated to advise school officials on English learner programs and services. The ELAC is a partner in advising the administration and staff in the development of a site plan for English learners and submitting the plan to the School Site Council for consideration of inclusion in the School Plan for Student Achievement.

Most importantly, the School Site Council helps us to continue our mission of focusing on Integrity, Knowledge and Respect for Every Person, Every Day!

Our mission is to build a learning community dedicated to the development of students who are critical thinkers, effective communicators, and responsible citizens. Hanford High School strives to ensure that all students are actively engaged in the pursuit of knowledge and are respectful, capable problem solvers, who exhibit integrity, thus enabling them to become productive members of the school, community and world. The Hanford High staff fosters these opportunities for every student every day.
