Order your 2026 yearbook today at Jostens.com. The book will arrive in May, so make sure to reserve your copy now.
Great News--We have added another Saturday School for May. Our next Saturday School is scheduled for Saturday, May 2, and then again on Saturday, May 9. Saturday School is an excellent way for students to recoup absences, get off the no go list as well as use the time to catch up on any missing work. One session of Saturday School clears one full absence. Please sign up with the Attendance Office to reserve your spot.
If you are a senior on the No-Go List for senior activities, please check in with Mr. Barber or Miss Emily at TSA (Room M1) during your lunch period.
SPORTS:
Last Thursday, the Trojans swim team competed against the Rajahs from Indio, by far our toughest opponent. Both the boys' and girls' teams swam a great meet, both winning. The boys won 91-67, and the girls won 87-82. With the win, the boys are on track to win their 5th straight undefeated league championship, and the girls their 3rd undefeated league championship. The only team in their way now is Twentynine Palms, who they will swim against at home Thursday for the final league meet of the season. They will be swimming for an undefeated league championship, but also to keep the Swim Bell for a 6th consecutive season.
