Agoura High School students are active in student government and leadership, fifty three clubs, drama presentations and a musical, an award-winning instrumental music program, yearbook, school newspaper, and a highly competitive interscholastic sports league. Volunteering within the community is strongly encouraged.
Agoura High School is on a schedule which includes a “0” period and a Student Support period prior to classes that meet every other day for 100 minutes. The “block” schedule has been very effective in increasing the hands-on experiences of our students in lab-oriented classes and has allowed faculty to expand instructional strategies for critical thinking in the classroom. The “0” period has allowed the school to offer an optional seven period day. The Student Support period offers academic help for all students.
