Greetings Panthers!

Welcome to Rosemead High School!  It is with great excitement that I write this letter of introduction to you as the new Principal of Rosemead High School.  I am honored to have the opportunity to lead a school with such a rich history,  persevering students, an extremely dedicated staff, and a supportive school community.  I feel very fortunate to be part of this school and to support the students and families.

If you are new to the community, you may be wondering why you should enroll your student at RHS. The answer is simple...BALANCE - we do it all, and we do it all well. We have so many amazing programs and opportunities for students to get involved: arts, academics, clubs, athletics, and so much more! No matter your interest or passion, we will find a place for you here. We invite students to make connections, find what they love and show this community what makes RHS such a special place.

Our goal is to help our families develop well-rounded citizens; critical thinkers, leaders, artists, athletes, and community volunteers. We believe in offering diverse academic and extracurricular opportunities to serve the wide-ranging interest of our students.

Rosemead High School is a Gold Ribbon School, Title 1 Academic Achievement School, Honor Roll School, and is among the top-performing high schools according to the U.S. News & World Reports’ Best High Schools 2020 rankings. RHS offers students a variety of academic offerings such as the AP Capstone Diploma program, AVID, and career and technical education in the areas of graphic design and business education, just to name a few. RHS students can also take advantage of dual-enrollment courses in software and systems development/programming through a partnership with Pasadena City College and Rio Hondo College.

No matter what your passion is, we invite you to join the Panther family! Please take a moment to explore our website where you can find the most up-to-date information about our school. 

I look forward to partnering with you to provide all of our students with a well-rounded and memorable high school experience. 

Janine Salanitro, RHS Principal
