JUNIORS & SENIORS ONLY:
IT'S THAT TIME OF THE YEAR AGAIN FOR THE ENCHANTED EVENING PROM DRESS GIVE-AWAY & TUX RENTAL If the cost of a dress/tux causes a hardship, please sign up in the counseling department, presentation binder to participate in this event.  Prom Dress give away will be happening April 1st at 6:30 a.m. at the Wyndham Hotel (formerly Holiday Inn). Sign up is completely confidential, sign-up with your student ID # only.

"The high school attendance incentive program-"It's Cool to Go to School"-is back!  Any student with PERFECT attendance this year is automatically entered into the drawing for a new Nissan Versa, courtesy of the Groppetti Automotive Family.  There are two ways to achieve PERFECT attendance this year; please visit your Attendance Office for contest information.

We have been experiencing candy sales during school hours. The Healthy Foods Act of California doesn't allow the sale of candy/food from 12 midnight to 4pm on school premises. Basically students can only sell after 4pm. They cannot sell before school or during school. Student selling candy during school time will have consequences.

Attention all seniors! Grad Nite tickets are still available and will go on sale again on Monday Feb. 27th. Tickets are $150 Pick-up permission slips at the finance office wall and they must be signed by a parent before you can purchase a ticket.

It is our pleasure to announce the Solar Project is moving along as scheduled.  We anticipate the transition of the barrier fencing to move from the north parking lot to the central and south parking lot on 2/18/17.   Please note there will be very minimal parking available in this area.  During this phase the fencing will remain in this location until March 24, as they will also move forward with the instillation of the solar framing.  We would like to thank you for your patience thus far and as we continue with this exciting project.

Library: Beginning Tuesday, February 21 students will be required to use their Student ID number to log into the computers.  The student log-in will no longer be allowed.
