Academics

Enterprise High School is a state-recognized distinguished school in California. The foreign languages offered are French, Spanish, and Mandarin Chinese. There is also a drama department. Enterprise currently offers Honors and Advanced Placement Courses in: English I, English II, English III, English IV, Biology, Physics, Chemistry, Psychology, European History, U.S. History, American Government/Economics, Statistics, Trigonometry, Calculus, and Spanish.

Due to the low socio-economic status of Enterprise, test scores are reflective of that status. Contrary to popular belief, however, Enterprise ranks a 10 out of 10 when compared to schools of similar size. Other schools in the district rank much lower when compared to schools of equivalent size and socio-economic status. Enterprise also has an extensive and broad College Preparatory program. Every subject is offered in CP level, acceptable to the University of California and California State University systems.

River Bowl

Every October, Enterprise and their main rival, Shasta High School, play in a celebrated game called the River Bowl.[2] The Hornets and the Wolves have been playing for the bowl for 24 years. After Enterprise winning the River Bowl every year, Shasta finally took the River Bowl in 2005. However, Enterprise won the River Bowl back on October 13, 2006 with a score of 10-0, the first shut out in River Bowl history. On October 12, 2007, a great and close game was played with the conclusion of Shasta winning the River Bowl back with a score of 17-24. The overall score of wins for the last 27 years is 17-10, with Enterprise in the lead.

1982 skylight injury

Around 1 A.M. on March 1, 1982, recent graduate Rick Earl Bodine (18) and three others trespassed onto Enterprise High School, allegedly to steal spotlights off the roof. After handing down one of the spotlights, Bodine reportedly walked across to take a second spotlight, but in the dark and rain fell through a painted-over skylight; the trespassers called an ambulance. Brain damage from the 27-foot fall initially left Bodine mute and quadriplegic. The state declined to prosecute Bodine, viewing that the injuries were more than sufficient punishment. Bodine's attorney sued the school district, arguing the district was negligent, given that a similar painted-over skylight in Shasta High School in Redding had resulted in a death in 1981. Judge Joseph Redmon ruled that (under the precedent of Rowland v. Christian)[4] criminal conduct would not bar Bodine from suing or collecting. The district's insurance company settled the case for $260,000 up front plus $1,500 per month for the rest of Bodine's life.[5] Outrage over the settlement spurred the introduction of California bill A.B. 200 in 1985[6] and the subsequent adoption of statute 847, which restricts property-owner liability toward plaintiffs engaged in certain felonies.[4][7]
