Principal’s Message

As the proud principal of Orangeview Junior High School, I am excited to welcome all of our Panthers to the 2023-24 school year. We are delighted to have you and your student join our school community, where we strive to create a nurturing and supportive environment for all students.

We believe that every student deserves a positive and inclusive learning experience. We are committed to fostering an atmosphere where students can grow academically, socially, and emotionally. Our dedicated team of teachers and staff work tirelessly to ensure that each student receives the individualized attention and guidance they need to reach their full potential.

We understand that the transition to junior high can be both exciting and challenging for students and families alike. Rest assured that we are here to support you every step of the way. Our school offers a range of resources and programs designed to support our community. From academic support and a robust junior high athletic program to counseling services and parent involvement opportunities, we strive to create a well-rounded educational experience for your student.

Orangeview will challenge our students both academically and socially through UNLIMITED opportunities on campus. We offer a variety of honors and advanced programs such as AVID and are proud to have been the first junior high school PUENTE program in Southern California. Our intramural sports teams are competitive and award winning. Because of our Panthers tenacity in Civic Education, Orangeview was awarded the Civic Learning Award of Merit, as well as awarded the prestigious 2020 California Democracy School distinction. Our focus is to foster students to be Life Ready!

When our students finish their two years here at Orangeview, our amazing staff is committed to ensuring that students have been equipped with the skills associated with the 5 Cs and CPSF. Students are expected to demonstrate and practice these skills by Collaborating and Communicating during instruction, Critical Thinking and being Creative, as well as promoting Character and Compassion both on and off campus.

We strongly believe in the power of collaboration between parents, students, and educators. We encourage you to be actively involved in your child’s education and to maintain open lines of communication with us. We are fortunate to be a Community School for the 2nd year and look forward to providing a greater role of supporting our community and students through this grant.

With warm regards and PRIDE,

Bindi Crawford

Principal, Orangeview Junior High School
