The second semester is off to a fantastic start! Despite recent power outages, our students have shown incredible resilience and determination. We’re excited about the many activities coming up, including Jag Idol, where students can showcase their talents, Poetry Out Loud, and Jags United. Be sure to check the calendar for event dates and encourage your student to participate.

A quick reminder: consistent attendance is vital to your student’s success. Missing even two days a month can disrupt learning and put students off track. Please plan family vacations around the school calendar to avoid interruptions. If you need support with attendance or have concerns, our Counseling team and Assistant Principal’s office are here to help. Thank you for your ongoing partnership in your student’s education!

Kind regards,

Mrs. Clymer

Principal, VCHS

A friendly reminder: Students must have a valid parking permit to park on campus. This policy is in place to ensure the safety of both students and our entire learning community. Students who park on campus without a permit may face consequences, ranging from Saturday School to having their vehicle towed off school property. Please take a moment to discuss your student's parking permit status with them today. Thank you for your cooperation in helping us maintain a safe and orderly campus!

This week in AP Physics, students collected data for their Rotational Motion Lab with Mr. Barnett. The hands-on activity allowed students to explore key principles of rotational motion, providing valuable insights into real-world applications of physics concepts all while having fun!

This week in Mrs. Rienick's English 11 class, students kicked off the semester with the Marshmallow Challenge, a fun and engaging team-building activity. Armed with 10 spaghetti noodles, a piece of yarn, a piece of tape, and a marshmallow, each group worked to construct the tallest free-standing structure capable of supporting the marshmallow on top. The winning design set an impressive record at 44.5 inches!

It’s poetry season once again! Valley Center High School will host its annual Poetry Out Loud competition on Friday, January 24th, from 7:45 am to Noon.

A special thank you to Crystal Rienick for coordinating this effort and bringing this amazing experience to our students. Don’t miss out on this inspiring showcase of student talent!
