Dear Trojan Families,

A man wearing a baseball jersey shakes hands with a seated student in a crowded school gymnasium.
Happy November, Trojan Families! 🍂 As we begin a new month, we look forward to another week of learning, growing, and creating meaningful experiences for our students! Every day brings new opportunities for our Trojans to discover their strengths, build relationships, and achieve success both inside and outside the classroom. We also have an exciting week of Trojan athletics ahead! Join us Thursday for the Black and Gold basketball game as we get our first look at the Trojans on the court and gear up for the upcoming season!  Then, on Friday, our Trojan football team wraps up its season with a trip across town to face rival Lakeside!  Let's show our Trojan pride and support our student-athletes as we close out football season and look ahead to basketball.
Go Trojans! 💛🖤
