Dear Students and Parents,

            The faculty and staff at Baker High School are committed to helping our students maximize their academic potential. In order to support our students as they take on the challenge of higher standards, we are providing several options for students who feel they need extra help. The Help Lab, Math Lab, and the 3-5 After School Program have been set up to provide students with the opportunity to get extra help. In addition, several on-line links have been established to provide helpful hints for academic success. We invite all of our students to make use of these resources to become even more successful in their academic endeavors.

Sincerely,

Joseph DeBarbieri
Principal
