For the college bound student, Prospect offers numerous honors and Advanced Placement classes and meets California State University and University of California requirements soundly. Vocational and technical coursework is offered through the elective program on campus and the Central County Occupational Center. In addition, the Special Education and English Language Development programs foster the spirit of full inclusion through mainstreaming and Specially Designed Academic Instruction in English (SDAIE) classes—other student support services include AVID, The after school homework center, Math and English Workshops, Reading Intervention, and Title I. Recently, Prospect switched to an Integrated Math system compliant to Common Core standards.[ citation needed ] 45.5% percent of Prospect's graduating class of 2020 report that they will enroll in a two or four-year college or university. [2]

In 2011, Prospect became the first school in the Campbell Union High School District to adopt Naviance, bolstering the campus College and Career Center with this guidance software. [3] In addition to this, Prospect offers a varied curriculum, offering nine Advanced Placement and eighteen total Honors-level courses. [4] Unique to Prospect is the Astronomy class, made possible by the easily recognized dome telescope; the Mandarin class, new for the 2012–13 school year and only offered at Prospect within CUHSD, the Accounting class in the Applied Arts department; and the Advancement Via Individual Determination (AVID) program.

Campus

Prospect has a relatively small campus at the base of the Santa Cruz Mountains. Spanning twenty-nine acres and 14 buildings, Prospect serves 1,550 students with an average class size of 32 students. [19] The original construction began in what was originally a cherry orchard in 1966, the campus opening in September 1968 for the 1968–1969 school year. Since 2005, district bonds from Measure C and state funds have renovated most of the campus, most notably:

The cafeteria and remaining wings (art, music, and CTE) are scheduled for renovation as well. [22] In the 2016–2017 school year, it was announced that Prospect would add a new two-story STEM building to its campus. The tennis courts were removed in spring of 2018 and were replaced by August 2018 in the back field. Construction began on the STEM building in the fall of 2018. The STEM building is set to open in August 2022 in time for the 2022–23 school year. [23]
