**We are on a special Finals Schedule beginning Wednesday, Dec. 13th through Friday, December 15th. Please see attached schedule for details. **

Congratulations to our Golden West Football Team!

Don't forget to purchase your yearbook in room A-11. They are currently on sale for $85 and personalization is still available.  Make sure to order it before personalization ends on January 26!
Lost and Found: Missing anything? Please come into the attendance office before school, after school and during lunch and look through our lost and found items. You would be surprised what gets turned in.

Due to the weather becoming colder we will be allowing students to wear beanies and headbands. Please remember they must be free of logos or decorations. The only logo that will be allowed will be our school logo. The beanies must be a single color white, black, grey, brown, tan or gold. This flexibility only applies to protection from the cold, not for hats. They may only be worn outdoors.

Interested in studying voice? Have no experience, but would like to learn? See Mr. Raheb to sign up for one of our choir classes 2nd semester.

Frosh Football Banquet will be held Thursday, December 14th in the cafeteria from 6-8 pm.

Students, please be aware that we will be conducting tardy sweeps.  It is important that you are in your classrooms ready to learn when the tardy bell rings.  For this reason, we will be running frequent sweeps.  If you are tardy to class during a sweep you will be serving an after school detention.  Please avoid this by getting to class on time.
Ablaze club is collecting toiletries (shampoo, toothpaste, toothbrushes, etc.) for the Bethlehem Center.  These items will be given to the homeless population in Visalia.  Donations can be dropped off in room E-9.
