Course Spotlight: AP European History

18 Aug 2019 by devoceanic

by Gerardo Hurtado, class of 2020 AP European History intimidates many incoming sophomores. But I will say that the course is immensely valuable in terms of academic skills; and further, I believe that it is nearly essential to future academic success. The course spans four centuries of European history and the development of wars, religion, and nations. It is relatively pain-free; each day, the teacher lectures for fifty minutes. We follow lecture notes, printed packets containing every detail (the bolded […]

Beauty of Art History

18 Aug 2019 by Hollace Brayer

Gift Nnamdi, Class of 2019 Behind every image is a complex story that shapes an artist’s intention and mirrors life in unexplainable ways.

Art History is like studying a visual language that […]

Take opportunities when you can!

Blog post by Samantha Valverde, class of 2020 High School is like any other existing organization on Earth. It can either be identified as good or bad depending on the person you are taking to. If one makes the best out of high school and gets involved in extracurricular activities like sports, clubs, or programs and not just stay busy with classwork, high school can be one of the greatest experiences of one’s life.

Course Spotlight: English III Honors

30 Jan 2019 by Hollace Brayer

Student blog post by Uyen Huynh, Class of 2020 I believe that upcoming students should take honors to challenge themselves and to improve their skills in English. The students in English III Honors class do Daily Writing Assignments; this practice method helps students practice, review, and get help on English grammar and skills. The timed writes and the flip charts given to each student is what I consider valuable in this class.

Student Blog post by Alexander Soria, class of 2020 Throughout high school I have taken classes that everyone takes. The usual math, science, English, history, and foreign language.
