Dear Serra Family,
Welcome to the 2026–2027 school year at Junipero Serra High School! I am honored to serve as the Dean of Students and to work alongside a dedicated team of educators, staff, and administrators who are deeply committed to the success and well-being of every student. Whether you are a returning family or joining us for the first time, I want to extend my warmest welcome and gratitude for choosing Junipero Serra High School as your educational home.
At Junipero Serra High School, our Catholic faith is at the heart of everything we do. Guided by our Catholic values, we believe that a strong partnership between school and home is essential to creating a positive, respectful, and academically enriching environment. We are proud of our tradition of excellence and our commitment to shaping young men and women of character, faith, leadership, and service who are prepared to make a positive impact in their communities.
As Dean of Students, my focus is to foster a school culture where all students feel safe, supported, and challenged to meet high expectations both academically and personally. Our policies, including those related to student conduct, dress code, and digital responsibility, are designed not only to provide structure but also to teach accountability, integrity, and mutual respect that reflect the mission and values of our Catholic school community. These values will serve our students well beyond their time at Junipero Serra High School.
The 2026–2027 Parent/Student Handbook is available on our website in the "About Us" and "Parents" sections at www.la-serrahs.org. I encourage all families to review it carefully, as it outlines the policies, procedures, and expectations that guide our day-to-day life at Junipero Serra High School.
Please know that my door is always open. If you have questions, concerns, or simply want to connect, I welcome your communication. We are partners in your student’s growth, and I look forward to working together to make this school year a successful and memorable one.
Thank you for your trust, partnership, and continued support.
Mr. Kirk Bertrand
Dean of Students
