Winter sports are up and running and there are only a few non league games left before we enter SCCAL play. Also the January 22nd spring sports parents meetings will be moved to a new date. We host basketball vs SLV that night and want to make sure we support basketball. Once the new date for spring sports parent meetings is set we will email to parents, put on the athletics calendar and put it on the school twitter feed.
