A Docks District Public School
Atherton High School serves students on the northern edge of the Reach, offering a structured academic environment with direct access to Star City’s broader civic and educational resources. Established during the city’s early expansion, Atherton has long emphasized stability, accountability, and preparation for post-secondary paths.
The school maintains a full college-prep curriculum alongside vocational and technical tracks aligned with municipal and port administration careers. Classrooms are modernized, facilities are well maintained, and student services focus on consistency and long-term planning.
Atherton prides itself on clear expectations, visible support systems, and strong coordination with city transit and public services. Families seeking a predictable educational environment with close ties to Downtown institutions often find Atherton a natural fit.
Atherton High School prepares students not just for graduation, but for what comes next.
Atherton High sits on the northern edge of the Reach, where the district brushes up against Downtown transit lines and institutional oversight.

Atherton High sits closer to Downtown than most Reach institutions, and it shows.
The building is newer—retrofitted in the late 1990s with reinforced concrete, controlled entry points, and integrated transit access. It was designed to be visible: wide streets, open sightlines, predictable foot traffic.
Alien surveillance is obvious here—not aggressive, just present. Cameras are visible. Patrol routes are consistent. Nothing is hidden, and nothing is supposed to be.
Atherton is considered the “safe” choice—by outsiders.
