==Mission Statement==
Our mission at Lake View High School is to provide an academic program that supports our students’ literacy learning and helps them develop into responsible and productive citizens.
To help accomplish our Mission, The following core beliefs will guide our action:


The earliest [[inhabitant]]s of the Arroyo Grande [[valley]] were [[Chumash Indians]]. The first [[Europe]]an to see the area was [[Spain|Spanish]] [[explorer]] [[Juan Cabrillo]]. The [[Mission San Luis Obispo de Tolosa]] was established nearby, and [[agricultural]] activities expanded into the area. The Arroyo Grande valley was found to have particularly fertile ground, and was given the name for "wide riverbed" in Spanish.
*All students can learn within a nurturing and supportive environment that sets high expectations;

*All students must be provided with high quality reading instruction in all core subject areas;
[[Francis Ziba Branch]], originally from [[New York]], saw the area on a [[hunting]] [[expedition]] during the period when [[California]] was part of [[Mexico]]. Branch married Dona Manuela Carlona, and this [[marriage]] entitled Branch to file claim for a Mexican [[land grant]]. In 1836 he and his wife and baby son moved onto the 17,000-acre Santa Manuela [[Rancho]].
*Respect and appreciation of our cultural diversity and democratic values are essential learning;

They were managing a successful [[cattle ranching]] operation when California became a [[U.S. territory]], and then a [[U.S. State]]. But some years later they suffered financial difficulties during a [[drought]] when many [[cattle]] died. They sold off smaller parcels of land to [[settlers]]. In 1862, the [[San Luis Obispo]] [[Board of Supervisors]] established the [[township]] of Arroyo Grande. [[Businesses]] developed along a road called Branch Street to serve local [[agriculture]]. A [[railroad depot]] was built in 1882. The [[city]] of Arroyo Grande was [[incorporated]] on July 10, 1911.
*A technology rich environment improves and enhances learning;

*A highly personalized learning environment is essential to student motivation, involvement and the development of positive habits and attitudes
==Environmental factors==

This federal grant progam required preparation of an [[Environmental impact assessment|Enivronmental Impact Report]], which document provided much of the initial environmental database for Arroyo Grande.

Arroyo Grande is located in a [[coastal]] [[ecosystem]] within the [[California floristic province]], and the habitats include forest, [[coastal prairie]], [[dune]]s and [[intertidal zone]].

History

The earliest inhabitants of the Arroyo Grande valley were Chumash Indians. The first European to see the area was Spanish explorer Juan Cabrillo. The Mission San Luis Obispo de Tolosa was established nearby, and agricultural activities expanded into the area. The Arroyo Grande valley was found to have particularly fertile ground, and was given the name for "wide riverbed" in Spanish.

Francis Ziba Branch, originally from New York, saw the area on a hunting expedition during the period when California was part of Mexico. Branch married Dona Manuela Carlona, and this marriage entitled Branch to file claim for a Mexican land grant. In 1836 he and his wife and baby son moved onto the 17,000-acre Santa Manuela Rancho.

They were managing a successful cattle ranching operation when California became a U.S. territory, and then a U.S. State. But some years later they suffered financial difficulties during a drought when many cattle died. They sold off smaller parcels of land to settlers. In 1862, the San Luis Obispo Board of Supervisors established the township of Arroyo Grande. Businesses developed along a road called Branch Street to serve local agriculture. A railroad depot was built in 1882. The city of Arroyo Grande was incorporated on July 10, 1911.

Environmental factors

This community experienced rapid growth in the 1970s and 1980s, partially due to the expansion of the wastewater treatment plant, under an EPA Clean Water Grant, that removed a growth constraint. This federal grant progam required preparation of an Enivronmental Impact Report, which document provided much of the initial environmental database for Arroyo Grande.

Arroyo Grande is located in a coastal ecosystem within the California floristic province, and the habitats include forest, coastal prairie, dunes and intertidal zone.
