Thank you to the Senior Class of 2026 for a fantastic senior sunrise! It was a great start to a productive day for the seniors, including their panorama yearbook photo, senior project work, and application help. We appreciate the 9th-11th graders for their hard work and effort to the PSAT! On Thursday during 4th period, Titan Talks were given, and at lunch, we celebrated our students earning Gold on the Q1 grades (C's or better in all classes and O's/ O's/S's in citizenship. Later that afternoon, PREP hosted their Lights on Afterschool Event, where students Juan and Melanie hosted the welcome and supported information tables and a haunted house. Friday evening, Titan students and parent leaders were out in the community supporting the Andrew's Harvest Festival and the Los Nietos Trunk or Treat! Congratulations to the Titan Marching Band for placing 3rd at the Centennial Tournament on Saturday.
This week, we encourage all students to participate in the spirit week that will conclude with a costume contest on Halloween Friday during lunch. On Friday, Superintendent Dr. Oviedo and Trustee Rodriguez-Moisa will be on campus, walking through classrooms and visiting with students.
