Students enjoyed fun activities during the Trail of Traits celebrations on Thursday and Friday. During the first quarter, students focused their attention on displaying the Tracy Tiger Trait of RESPECT. Throughout the quarter, students made special efforts to show respect for self and others through their words and actions. We are so proud that our students work hard every day to be respectful, responsible, and kind members of the community. Special thanks to our Cool To Be Kind members for organizing and guiding the activities!

As part of the upcoming renovations to the McDowell Athletic Complex (MAC), a new paver plaza is being planned for the stadium entrance. The Gus Anderson Legacy Plaza will feature engraved pavers that are now available to purchase and customize! All purchases support the renovations, which include necessary updates to the track, bleachers, addition of visitor bathrooms, turf drainage and more.

Leave your mark on the MAC and purchase a paver in honor of an alumni, your graduating class, or yourself! Purchase a paver or make a general donation here: Sponsorships & Naming Rights Opportunities
