Congratulations to our Golden West Football Team for advancing to the Valley Championship Game. We will be hosting the game against CVC at 7:00pm on Friday, December 1st. Come out and support our boys by wearing your best school spirit gear.  You may pre-purchase tickets in the front office all week until Friday @ 1:30 pm. The gates will open at 5:00pm where you can also purchase tickets. Tickets will be $9 for adults and $6 for all students. (Please keep in mind that for CIF playoff games the prices are set by CIF and no ASB discount is accepted. Cash only).

Blazer Spirit shirts are available in the Student Store for $9!  Show your Blazer Pride!

Due to the weather becoming colder we will be allowing students to wear beanies and headbands starting today.  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.
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.
