Please share your ratings and input on the possible mascots for the CHS Captains. All current, former, and future community member (students, staff, parents, alumni, etc) input is welcomed.
Please note: none of these is the final design rendering; this feedback will be used to help determine next steps in the mascot design process. Additionally, the following values are what helped guide the team in deciding upon "Captains," which we hope the mascot itself will also represent:
Must positively represent the entire student body now and in years to come.
Should not be tied to anything harmful or disrespectful toward people or communities whether based on: (any possible nicknames and physical iterations/images must also follow this standard): Culture, ethnicity, gender, history, race, religion,social group identity
Can not repeat a current mascot of a high school within the San Diego Unified School District or a Clairemont Cluster school.
Try to avoid repeating any current mascots being used by high schools within San Diego County.
Must work with the school’s colors of Orange and Blue.
Does not need to be alliterative (e.g. the Clairemont Corgis).
Clairemont High School is currently recruiting business and community mentor volunteers who would like to give their time and share their wisdom to our 11th graders and we need your help!
The mentor application window is now open and will close on September 30th.
Please contact Rebecca Aubery at raubery@sandi.net with any questions.
Every year San Diego Community College District asks Clairemont what courses we would like to offer as CCAP courses. The options are often limited but we would like to request courses that students are interested in and that meet the requirements for the Cal-GETC (California General Education Transfer Curriculum) for California State Schools and University of California Schools.
Please complete this survey so that we can request the courses that students are interested in. There is no guarantee we will be able to offer these courses but we will do our best to request the courses our students are interested in!
Sign up for your Senior Portrait time today!
Senior Portraits will be taken on campus for your convenience this year.
Please note, the tux and drape will be provided for you.
Young men should wear their own white button-down collar shirt to use under the tux jacket.
