Petition to the Santa Rosa City Schools Board of Education: Save Elsie Allen High School

We, the undersigned, stand in unwavering support of Elsie Allen High School and join the Elsie Allen High School Foundation in opposing any consideration of closing this vital institution.

Elsie Allen High School is more than just a school—it is a cornerstone of the Southwest Santa Rosa community. For decades, it has been a place of opportunity, empowerment, and hope for students and families. It provides a safe and nurturing environment for first-generation students, English learners, and those overcoming significant challenges, offering pathways to academic success, career readiness, and a brighter future.

The programs, resources, and support provided at Elsie Allen High School transform lives and strengthen our community. Closing this school would create devastating ripple effects, dismantling opportunities for students who need them most and leaving a significant void in the region.

We respectfully urge the Board to recognize the critical role that Elsie Allen High School plays in Southwest Santa Rosa and to take decisive action to ensure its continued operation.

Together, let us preserve this invaluable institution and its legacy of transforming lives, fostering success, and building a stronger community for generations to come.

We call on the Santa Rosa City Schools Board of Education to reject any proposals or considerations to close Elsie Allen High School.

By signing this petition, we affirm our commitment to the students, families, and community of Elsie Allen High School.
