Warren High School has once again been recognized among the nation’s top-performing schools, ranking in the top 15% of high schools nationwide in the 2026-27 U.S. News & World Report Best High Schools rankings. As the highest-ranked high school in Downey Unified School District, Warren continues to lead the way in academic excellence and student achievement, preparing every Bear for success in college, career, and beyond. Go Bears!

Future Bears, this one’s for you! Warren High School is excited to welcome DUSD elementary students and their families to Cub Cave Night on Friday, September 4. Enjoy free admission for Cubs with a wristband, field access before the game and at halftime, free shirts for the first 200 Cubs, and an exciting night of Warren football as the Bears take on South Gate at Justice Stadium.

Long before the first day of school, Warren’s Link Crew students and coordinators were hard at work preparing to welcome nearly 1,000 incoming freshmen. Through summer training, planning, and two full Freshman Orientation sessions, they helped create an environment where every new Bear felt welcomed, supported, and connected. Their dedication, leadership, and heart remind our newest students of the most important message in Warren, CA: you belong here.

A new school year is here, and we can’t wait to welcome our Bears back to campus! Read a special welcome message from our Warren Principal, Dr. Cari White, and explore important back-to-school information, key dates, attendance expectations, our cell phone policy to address California’s new Phone-Free Schools Act, and everything you need to start the 2026-2027 school year strong! Go Bears!
