Achievements

Safety

In keeping with district policy, Rosemead High School believes that the safety of students, employees, and guests is of the highest priority. [3] Regular reviews of and improvements to the Safe School Plan ensure a safe and orderly environment and support the school's strong commitment to safety. Fire Drills are conducted once a month and earthquake/evacuation drills are held once each semester to ensure that all students and staff know the procedures to follow in the event an emergency or disaster should occur. [3] The school has a strong connection to and relationship with the Temple City Sheriff's Station and the deputies on the Rosemead Team. A School resource officer (SRO) is on campus during school hours to assist with law enforcement issues and is a welcome presence at co-curricular activities, athletic events and dances. The SRO also interacts with school staff and students in a wide range of situations. The officer is accessible to students, parents, and staff during the school day. [8] The school has taken further steps to increase safety by locking gates and instituting a sign-in system at the switchboard where non-students/staff check-in and out during school hours. These safety measures have made the campus less accessible to outsiders. The school employs five part-time campus supervisors who are directed by the Assistant Principal for Activities and the Assistant Principal for Student Services to provide a school climate that is safe, supportive and orderly. These staff members patrol the hallways and grounds during class time and are highly visible at times when large groups of students are out on campus. [3]
