Finals Week is here! As you prepare for your exams, turn off your phone and place it in another room, stay positive and focused, take regular breaks, and get plenty of sleep. On exam day, believe in yourself—you’ve got this!

This has been a fantastic year at Diamond Bar High School. We reopened our 400 building and said goodbye to the portables. The accomplishments of our students across Academics, Athletics, Arts, and Activities have been truly outstanding—this year is one to remember.

To our parents and guardians, as well as to our Magnificent 7 Parent Organizations, thank you for your continued support and partnership throughout the school year.

I hope everyone has a wonderful summer!

Sincerely,

David Hong
