Welcome to Excel High School's Website!


EXCEL will embrace the rich cultural and historical experiences of West Oakland and continue to build a network of graduates who contribute to this community through service and activism. We will provide an environment that values and honors all individuals, our collective histories, and our shared and diverse cultures within a positive school climate marked by high expectations, academic rigor and a relevant curriculum. Students will be empowered to be change agents and critical thinkers with the ability to problem solve and effectively communicate who they are through various forms of expression.

Every student will be prepared to attend a 2 or 4 year college and succeed in college. EXCEL maintains high expectations, provides rigorous learning experiences and requires content mastery. EXCEL has created a college-going culture where students believe that a college education is their next step.
