Scholarship Recipient, FAFSA Sign-ups, & Exciting Opportunities Ahead!
We are thrilled to announce that Anthony Hernandez has been awarded a $500 dollars scholarship—congratulations, Anthony!
In the past few weeks, we've achieved a fantastic milestone—we've assisted over 20 students in signing up for their FAFSA! If you still need help with yours, swing by Room 204 so we can assist you.
Looking ahead, we have exciting trips planned! We're gearing up for a visit to Palomar College, perfect for those interested in trades like welding, HVAC, mechanical work, and automotive (like body shop). We're also planning museum trips and a visit to the Oceanside Country Club for art exposure and workshops. Parents are welcome to join us for these enriching experiences!
And parents, if you prefer assistance in Spanish, both I and Susana, our Community Liaison, are bilingual and ready to assist you.
Let's keep the momentum going—see you soon in Room 204!

Graduation season is in full swing at our school. Students are busy selecting their gowns and caps, while parents eagerly anticipate their children's graduation. This milestone marks the beginning of a new phase of life, offering fresh opportunities for further studies and career prospects that will shape one's future. Motivated for this reason, several parents decided to join us on the visit to Palomar College to learn about the programs offered.
We firmly believe that parents have a critical role to play in their children's academic journey. It is essential that parents take an active interest in their children's education and have open and honest conversations with them to better understand their interests and aspirations. By doing so, parents can help guide their children to make informed decisions about their future academic pursuits.
This is the best time to send a heartfelt congratulations to all parents for a great effort to keep their students motivated and supportive during this high school stage.
