Elk Grove High School is committed to creating a culture of mastery in our school. The Mastery Lab facilitates this goal through collaboration, small group work and one-on-one tutoring. We believe all students can achieve, yet understand that learning styles vary. The Mastery Lab provides the flexibility to meet the needs of all learners.
