The W.C. Carlé High School senior sweatshirts have been officially designed,and the students are looking forward to receiving these beautiful comforts.

STAR Testing took place for Carlé High School students during the week of May 9. It has been announced and posted that 704 is the goal we are looking for.

Open house was last Thursday, May 12. Once again it was a fantastic evening. This event brought together family, friends, and staff as the school year is coming closer to an end.

We were all entertained by the music of teacher Dan Maes and students Robert Potter, Jonathan Warren, Eric Salcedo, Darren Gasperoni and Tommi Galli. We also convened a site council and voted on a budget for next year.

On a bittersweet note this will be Principal Ed Zander's last open house and we all felt his loss during his wonderful speech. We wish him well in his new job as director of special education for the Konocti Unified School District.

Paintball took place last Friday, May 13; and students were once again able to enjoy this last game of the year thanks once again to Carlé's volunteers of the year Mike and Starr Skidmore.

The last staff-student luncheon of the year was last Friday, May 13, and we would like to thank the special volunteers from the wonderful Soroptimists club for donating their time, effort and expertise to make these luncheons possible. We would also like to thank the many splendid chef's Carlé' had on hand to clean, prep and cook the luncheon.

Currently students are working very hard on this years senior plaques so that each of our 40 graduates receives a special memento of their time at Carlé.

Prom took place Saturday, May 7, and some would say it was quite “timeless.” Captivated by the beauty of this particular night, student body president and prom mover and shaker Stevie Cook said, “Prom setup was stressful, but the payoff was welL worth it!”

Prom King this year was Raylon Ray, and Prom Prince was LJ Stewart. Prom Queen was Nia Edmunds, and Prom Princess was Holly Brumback.

“As a staff member, 'time flew' for me as I watched our wonderful Carlé student body dance the night away in their formal attire thanks to the musical stylings of Andre' JR,” said teacher Angie Siegel.

Carlé High School would like to give a very special thank you to everyone who made this night possible. The student government put a lot of hard work into creating this special night and creating a truly wonderful evening for all.

We would also like to thank Ellie Hackler's parents, Angie, Principal Zander, Verna, Pat, Pat's husband Jimmy, Gary, and Kim, and to all of the students who put a lot of hard work fundraising along with the very generous donations given to us by the wonderful community.

Leading up to prom was a very fun spirit week all based on the subject of time. From the 1950s to the future “time travel” was made possible at Carlé!

But, then again everything is possible with the helpful stylings of the Carlé culture.

Congratulations are in order for students Derek Grace and Christine McQuown who received the Student of the Year Award.

“I was very honored that the staff felt so highly about my improvement, and I'm very grateful for everything they do for me, as well as everyone else,” said winner Christine McQuown.

In other congratulations, teacher Angie Siegel received the award for Certificated Employee of the Year, and our lovely lunch lady, Annette Fender, received our award for Classified Employee of the Year.

In addition to the Skidmores who won volunteer of the year Don Coffin was honored as

volunteer of the year for bringing wonderful music and tutoring to our campus.

Last but not least, we would like to congratulate students Marco Ochoa and Heidi Kratz who are now official Carlé graduates!
