High School has had a great opening of the school year, highlighted
by the recent release of the Academic Performance Index numbers for
the 2002-2003 school year. Yosemite High School posted an API of 764,
which was a 60 point increase over the prior year. This far exceeded
the 5-point growth target for 2002, and was among the highest API
scores for comprehensive high schools in Central California.
The academic success of students was matched by similar results in
the extra-curricular arena. League championships in football, volleyball,
girls’ cross country, second place finishes in girls’ golf and boys’
cross country, and an individual league singles champion in girls’
tennis highlighted a successful fall sports season.
The band and choir programs performed a fall music concert on October
21, and are scheduled to move into the new music building in early
December. The fall drama production of “Star” was the final performance
in the old theater building, with renovation of the existing building
into a 400 seat performing arts center scheduled to begin in December.
The recent showing of “Got Glow” in the Badger Art Gallery showcased
outstanding student art work.
The Yosemite High School Future Farmers of America chapter had an
outstanding showing at the Madera District Fair with a number of students
bringing home top awards.
Parents and students are reminded that the guidance department will
be hosting its annual Financial Aid Night on Wednesday, December 10,
in the school library. Representatives from CSU Fresno will be conducting
a workshop on financial aid and completing the FAFSA form. Parents
of senior students who are planning on attending college are strongly
encouraged to attend.
We will be winding down the fall semester in December with final exams
scheduled for the week of December 15-19. School will be on a minimum
day schedule December 17, 18, and 19 with school ending at 12:10.
