Warren High School’s 2026 summer program provided students with meaningful opportunities to recover credits, accelerate their academic progress, and prepare for future success. Serving more than 1,000 students, Summer at Warren continued to evolve beyond traditional credit recovery, offering pathways that support college readiness, academic advancement, and student well-being.
This year, 1,027 students participated in Summer at Warren, making it one of the program’s lowest enrollments in recent years. While enrollment was lower, the trend reflects positive progress as more students are successfully utilizing credit recovery opportunities during the school year and overall D/F rates continue to decline.
Student achievement remained a highlight of the program, with a 97% pass rate, 8,290 high school credits earned, and 3,303 college units completed through dual enrollment coursework.
A major focus of this summer’s program was academic acceleration. 759 students enrolled in dual enrollment courses, allowing them to earn college credit while still in high school. These opportunities help students save both time and money as they work toward their postsecondary goals.
Students also had the opportunity to advance in mathematics through Honors Geometry. 95 students completed the rigorous course, positioning them to pursue advanced mathematics pathways, including AP Calculus coursework. The group included incoming freshmen from the Warren Scholar Pathway who began accelerating their academic journey before their first day of high school.
Support for multilingual learners remained a priority throughout the summer. Ninety-four multilingual learners participated in an AVID ELD program focused on organization, academic language development, and college readiness. Students further expanded their horizons through college visits that helped them explore future educational opportunities.
Beyond academics, Summer at Warren emphasized student engagement and connection. Lunch activities, creative projects, and student-centered programming helped create a welcoming campus environment where students could build relationships and remain connected to school throughout the summer. Student feedback collected through weekly surveys helped shape activities and ensure the program reflected student interests and needs.
One of the program’s most impactful events was the Community Resource Fair. More than 100 students and family members connected with over 10 community organizations, gaining access to resources such as dental services, sports physicals, low-cost internet programs, transportation assistance, Medi-Cal enrollment, job readiness support, internships, and work permit guidance.
“Summer at Warren is about more than earning credits,” said Summer School Principal, Christopher Membribes. “It’s about creating opportunities, building confidence, and helping students see what’s possible for their future.”
As the program concludes, Summer at Warren’s impact can be measured not only in credits earned and college units completed, but also in the stronger connections, expanded opportunities, and renewed confidence students will carry into the new school year.
