Our Mission
We believe that all students can become successful, productive and confident members of our society. To assist students we will provide them with an educational environment that is positive, recognizes individual differences and has high expectations for achievement and behavior. We will work to meet the needs of our own community through a program that emphasizes: goal setting, personal responsibility, and choice.

PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE
Renaissance High School remains committed to three priorities:
To help decrease the drop out rate for the Bremerton School District by serving as an option for Bremerton High School, grades 9-12.
- To provide an effective alternative learning experience to meet the needs of at-risk and alternative learners.
To equip our students with the skills and knowledge necessary to pass the Washington Assessment of Student Learning. - In support of the above goals, we take pride in being positive and caring with our students. We offer a safe environment that focuses on active student participation. Due to this culture, we have very few disciplinary issues.
- Our schedule offers classes every other day with no school on Friday. Students are rewarded for working harder and can accelerate based on their motivation and ability by earning additional points for additional work.
- Twice each week, students have “Advisory” class where they meet with their assigned advisor who is in charge of their academic program and tracking their students’ progress. This time is used for team building, emphasizing school culture, and expectations as well as academic progress discussions.
As a staff, we are dedicated to continuous improvement at Renaissance High School.
