I am a senior, class of 2014,  here at San Juan Hills High School. I joined the newspaper staff because I was in it last year (as the news editor) and truly loved being in the class. It was a lot of fun to join and a great way to learn things about the high school that I had not known before. I loved being the news editor last year, and feel that having a newspaper in the school is a great way for students, who are not in newspaper, to know what is going on in their community.

DON’T FORGET YOUR ROOTS: Six members of San Juan Hill’s alumni, Danielle Eden (2012), Samantha Battis (2012), Jeffrey Zawoysky (2011), Jordan Furlong (2013), Charlie Crane (2013) and Analuisa Del Rivero (2012), returned to the Stallion Theatre on January 10 to share experiences and tips regarding college life with current SJHHS juniors and seniors. With the college application window coming to a close, it provided a great opportunity for seniors to get a firmer grasp on what exactly they have been applying for as well as giving juniors a head start. Panelist advice covered topics ranging from academics to life on campus, in state and out, and transitioning from high school life to the independence of the college atmosphere. Students had the opportunity to ask personal questions that they felt would prepare them for their own future experiences. Photo by Chetana Piravi.

TWO POINTS AND COUNTING: Ian Hickey(29) watches quarterback Jacob Gibson(7) throw a pass to Steven Agular(23, not shown) for a two-point conversion. Although the opposing team, Thousand Oaks High School, was incorrectly lined up for the play, the Stallions were able to score the two-point conversion at the SJHHS first home game of the 2013-2014 school year.
