Cardinals End an Incredible Playoff Run

Our Hoover Varsity Football Team made an unforgettable run all the way to the Division V Championship Game after their hard-fought 10–6 win over the Canyon Hills Rattlers. In the championship matchup against Morse High School, the Cardinals battled with heart and determination. Though they came up short in the end, it was a well-fought game and an amazing season filled with grit, growth, and Hoover pride. Congratulations to our Cardinals on an incredible journey — we’re so proud of everything you accomplished!

11th Grade Restorative Justice

The 11th Grade Restorative Justice class in the LEAD Academy visited the Lost Neighborhoods exhibition at the San Diego History Center on Monday, November 17, 2025. Students explored augmented reality, oral histories, and archival materials to learn about San Diego communities—like City Heights—that were displaced through redlining and other discriminatory policies. They gathered valuable sources for their YPAR (Youth Participatory Research Project) annotated bibliographies while also enjoying access to five additional exhibits. The trip offered a powerful look at systemic oppression and directly supported their ongoing research.
