Hello Golden Bear Families,

One of the things I love most about being part of the Golden Bear Family is seeing the many ways our students find opportunities to shine. This past week was a perfect example, with accomplishments across athletics, performing arts, student activities, and our co-curricular programs. There was so much happening on our campus, and I couldn't be prouder of the talent, dedication, and school spirit our students continue to demonstrate.

We kicked off the week by hosting our Unified Games Flag Football event, where our TVHS team came out on top as champions! Our Varsity Football team gave us another exciting moment, pulling off a nail-biting victory over Oaks Christian in the final seconds of overtime to advance to the CIF Quarterfinals. What a finish! Our Girls Tennis team battled hard in their first round of CIF team competition against Marlborough High School. Although they came up short, we look forward to cheering them on as they continue their season in CIF Individual competition.

Friday evening brought plenty of laughter and talent as our Improv students entertained us with a wonderful performance. We also celebrated what makes our Golden Bear Family so special at our Cultural Showcase. Our ASB and cultural clubs did an amazing job during advisement on Friday, highlighting the many cultures, traditions, and talents that make up our TVHS community. It was a wonderful reminder that our diversity is one of our greatest strengths!

The accomplishments continued throughout the weekend. Our Golden Valley Regiment took first place in the 2A Division at the Spirit of Champions band competition hosted at Great Oak High School, and our AFJROTC cadets brought home an impressive collection of awards from the Santiago Drill Competition. Congratulations to all of our students and the staff members who support and encourage them along the way!

This week, we look forward to another favorite Golden Bear tradition, Dancing with the Bears! Join us for an evening celebrating the incredible talent of our Alliance Varsity Dancers alongside their Golden Bear counterparts. It is always a wonderful evening of entertainment, and I know our students have been working hard to make it a memorable one!

As we celebrate the many accomplishments and special moments across our school, we also recognize that this has been a difficult time for our TVUSD family. The loss of a Chaparral High School student and football player has deeply saddened our district community. Our thoughts and hearts are with the student's family, friends, teammates, and the entire Chaparral High School community. During times like these, we are reminded that we are one community, and it is important that we continue to look out for one another, offer support, and keep those who are hurting close in our thoughts.

A quick reminder that there will be no school on Wednesday, November 11, as we observe Veterans Day. This is an opportunity to recognize and thank the men and women who have served our country and the families who stand alongside them. We are grateful for their service and sacrifice.

As always, thank you for your continued support of our students, staff, and school. There is so much to celebrate at TVHS, and I am incredibly proud of the many ways our Golden Bears continue to shine.

Have a wonderful week, and as always, GO BEARS! 🐻💛

TVUSD is excited to launch our District Science Fair, open to all middle and high school students! Participating in the Science Fair is more than a competition, it’s an opportunity to explore something you’re curious about while building valuable college and career-ready skills. Students will strengthen their critical thinking, problem-solving, creativity, research, data analysis, communication, and presentation skills as they design and complete their own science or engineering investigation.

And the opportunity doesn’t stop at TVUSD! Winners of the District Science Fair will advance to the Riverside County Science and Engineering Fair, where they will have the opportunity to showcase their work alongside other young scientists and engineers from across the county.

No matter where your interests lie, the Science Fair is a chance to ask questions, solve problems, explore your ideas, and challenge yourself. Start with something you’re curious about and see where it takes you!

Ready to participate? Check out the flyer for registration information and important dates.

We had another successful Unified Sports event today! Congratulations to all of our Unified Sports participants for a wonderful day of competition, teamwork, and sportsmanship, and a special congratulations to our TVHS Flag Football Champions!

The Unified Games are such a wonderful example of the true spirit of competition, bringing people together, celebrating one another, and reminding us that we are all part of one team. A special thank you to Megan Meling, Heather Parker, Kelsey Cardinale, Jen Guinn, and Eric Burlingham for organizing such a fantastic event. We also appreciate our volunteer referees, Mario DeCaro and Stanley Azevedo, for giving their time to make the day possible.

Thank you to our ASB students, coaches, and participating member schools for all of the time, energy, and heart that went into making this such a memorable day. It was a great day to be a Golden Bear!

A special congratulations to Senior Cadet and Vice Group Commander Cadet Major Xander Owen for earning 1st Place in Tap Out!

We are incredibly proud of all our cadets and their hard work! A heartfelt thank-you to MSgt Lucrica Knight our families, supporters, and everyone who continues to stand behind our program. Your support makes a difference!

Congratulations, Golden Bears!!! Go Bears! 🐻

One of the things we are most proud of at TVHS is the diversity that makes our campus community so special. Our Cultural Showcase was a beautiful reflection of that pride, bringing together students, cultures, and traditions through music, dance, and shared experiences. From the vibrant performances of Baile Folklórico, Ohana and Haka, and Step to the cultural contributions of the Middle Eastern Student Association and Asian Culture Club, our students shared their heritage with pride and gave us all an opportunity to learn from one another. I am so proud of our students and staff for making this celebration possible and for reminding us that what makes us different is also what brings us together.

“Congratulations to our Golden Valley Regiment on a successful show at the Spirit of Champions marching band tournament at Great Oak High School this past Saturday! They earned 1st place in the 2A division with a score of 67.725. A special shout out to our color guard, who also earned the high auxiliary award. Go Bears!”
