Due to novel Corona virus, we are to stay at home and do online classes. This is not a break! Seniors are to complete assignments and pass with at least a C in their A – G required courses. If you’ve already completed a course and are taking it again, there is no real worry for the class, however, if you are planning on being accepted to a college then you need to have a good grade in every class.
As for freshmen, sophomores, and juniors, you need to do all of your work! You are required to have a certain amount of credits in order to go on to the next grade.
Lastly, if you have any questions message your counselors.

Jabez Byrd, also known as “Bezzy”, received information from his history teacher, Francisco Juarez, about a contest to perform at a famous play. The play he competed for was Hamilton, a musical play which tells the story of American founding father Alexander Hamilton.
The competition required the contestants to perform a song that they’ve created. Among all the other contestants, Jabez won the first part of the competition. However, because Jabez did so well, he was chosen to perform at the Pantages along with nine other talented students.
So when can we see Jabez perform at the Pantages? Sadly, the Pantages have been postponed. Due to COVID-19, coronavirus, the Hamilton play has been temporarily shut down.

Hollywood Highs annual blood drive is here at Hollywood. Donating your blood is said to save up to two or three lives!
You have two donation choices. The normal donation, and the power red donation. Power red extracts certain nutrients from your blood, then returns what they is not taken. Cristal Roblero, the leadership captain, says that you may receive “Peanut butter and Jelly sandwiches, cookies, water, juice, and a blood drive shirt” after donating.
But why do we do the blood drive? Cristal Roblero says, “We are helping our community because of all the disasters going on.”
