Principal's Message
Dear Students and Families,
I hope this message finds you well as we wrap up the first full week of the second semester! It’s been wonderful to see our campus buzzing with energy and enthusiasm as we embark on this new chapter.
Celebrating Our Community
Last week, we kicked off the semester with our Welcome Back Spirit Week, hosted by ASB. It was heartening to see so many students and staff join in the festivities, showcasing their school pride and building connections. This energy sets the tone for a semester filled with learning, growth, and community spirit. |
Academic Achievements and Goals
On Friday, we held a school-wide webinar to celebrate our students’ academic accomplishments. Juniors and seniors are averaging a GPA of about 3.0, while freshmen and sophomores are averaging about 2.6. These numbers show progress, and I’m confident that with focus and determination, all students can continue to grow.
It’s a good time to remind everyone that the semester 1 grades, which count toward a-g eligibility for college admissions, will be sent home this week. I encourage families to review these grades together, reflect on achievements, and set clear goals for the rest of the school year.
Important Updates Starting January 13
As we continue to prioritize a safe, inclusive, and focused learning environment, I want to remind families of the following updates that will take effect on Monday, January 13:
- Attendance Tracking and Punctuality: The new tardy protocols will be fully implemented. These include tracking “academic readiness” as a suggested practice and assigning lunch detention for students with six or more tardies in a two-week period. Punctuality is a life skill that helps set the foundation for future success, and we’re committed to helping students build this habit.
- Dress Code Enforcement: To promote safety and respect, the updated dress code limiting red and blue clothing will also be enforced starting Monday. Staff will continue to address dress code concerns with respect and provide students the opportunity to adjust as needed.
Thank you for your partnership in supporting these efforts. Together, we can create an environment where students feel safe, respected, and ready to learn. |

Looking Ahead
As we move into the semester, we will continue to focus on fostering academic growth, celebrating achievements, and supporting students as they work toward their goals. Whether it’s improving GPAs, meeting a-g requirements, or building strong habits, I encourage students to take full advantage of the resources and opportunities available to them.
Families, your involvement is key. Whether it’s reviewing report cards, discussing goals, or staying engaged with school events, your support makes a tremendous difference in our students’ success.
Let’s continue building momentum and making this semester one of growth and achievement!
