A new year at W. C. Carlé High School begins!

In this 2012-13 year we already have plenty of excitement. Two school events are coming up that can earn students credit (more details later).  

On Friday, Sept. 14, students will visit Highland Springs. Highland Springs will be an all school day event and the students will receive P.E. credit.

The next chance students to earn extra credit this time is our Back To School Night, which will take place from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 27. During this evening students and parents can come, meet teachers and staff, learn more about the curriculum, have a site council meeting and eat food. It is a potluck for the school community.

Carlé would like to acknowledge student Nura Brown as the official first Student Of The Week. Good job, Nura!

Along with Brown, congratulations also go to Raymond Green, who won a $50 prize for having perfect
attendance for the last school year.

Carlé would like to welcome the new faces to our school. First, Carlé welcomes its new principal – and the principal of Highlands as well as Blue Heron – Dr. Jim Burger.

“Carlé High School is a great school and I am thrilled to be here,” said Dr. Burger, who came to Lake County from Jefferson High School in Siskiyou County.  

Also new to the Carlé family is Ms. Robin Shrive, the new English teacher who is coming from Lower Lake High School.

“I really want to thank everyone for their support,” said Shrive.  

Finally, we’d like to welcome the new students to Carlé: Autumn Balog, Ty Beasley, Mariah Bernal, Atlanta Bongiorno, Lyric Brown, Andre Clark, Charlie Clark, Isaac Dominguez, Michael Field, Cassie Garrett, Emilio Gonzales, Mark Grimesey, Summer Gunn, James Paul Harvey, Luis Herrera, Keanon Jardstrom, Luke Johnson, Kenny Kalousek, Annie Keller, Joshua Kennedy, Tricia Labrasca, Jo-Jo Logue, Cheryl Long, Alex Loughmiller, Jessie Mason, Kobi Minard, Christopher Montes, Sienna Norton, Regina Perrin-Clanton, Sara Peters, Esparanza Roberts, Johnny Roofener, Keith Stalker, Lucas Stickel, Levy Venuto and Cari Wiebush.
