Carlé will miss you; there will never be another class like it.
“I have to say, out of all of my years in high school this year was my favorite. I enjoyed coming to school every day and all of the students and teachers were wonderful. Thank you to all of the staff for helping me to graduate a year early,” said Kara Boyce, one of Carlé's graduates.
“This year has been full of ups and downs, friends come and go but one thing remains the same; the entire staff does everything in their power to make sure you succeed. This school could not be more wonderful or hands-on. I would not change a single thing about Carlé,” said Andrea McMullen, Carlé's columnist.
“I loved being here this year, the staff could not have been more generous. Even though I am glad that I graduated, I will miss Carlé,” said graduate Paul Silsby.
“This year has been truly indescribable. I can not begin to explain how amazing this school is,” said Holly Brumback.
“Another outstanding year at Carlé high school! Carlé has once again been recognized as one of the finest schools in the state by receiving a six-year accreditation,” said Principal Ed Zander of the 2009-10 school year.
“Six years are hard to get, but Carlé has received its third consecutive six-year term,” Zander said. “The staff at Carlé continues to find ways to improve and consistently graduates 90 percent of its students. We are also extremely proud of our secretary Barbara Dye for winning District Employee of the Year; the entire district recognized her for her dedication to students and the Konocti Unified School District.
“Carlé also had its first Odyssey of the Mind team who worked very hard this year and made it to the
state competition for the Redwood finals,” Zander continued. “Ashland trip was another great success this year. Carlé students showed once again why they are some of the best students in the county.”
“I was so honored and excited to receive this award! I feel so fortunate to work with so many great people and with such kind students; this award is icing on a very sweet cake!” said our secretary Barbara Dye on winning District Employee of the year.
This article is the last of the year and Carlé's way of saying goodbye to the 2009-10 school year, and hello to the 2010-11 year!
We wish everyone a safe and healthy summer and see you all next year!

LAKEPORT – A local student has won a prestigious state award.
The California Junior Scholastic Federation (CJSF) Marion Huhn Award recognizes 25 outstanding students from 600 state chapters for their academic excellence and service to the school and community.
CJSF chapters nominate their top two students for the Marian Huhn Award. Candidates submit a packet including letters of recommendation and a personal statement. Five students from each region receive a $250 award.
Asia Jones, 14, of Terrace School was nominated by CJSF advisor Lisa Prather and selected as a scholarship recipient in April.
Jones is an active member of the Blue Heron 4-H Club (Lakeport) where she has served as president and teen leader.
She plays trumpet in the Terrace School Band and she maintains a 4.0 grade point average.
“I was speechless when I heard my name announced, but also very, very excited,” Jones said.
The award was presented at the northern California California Scholastic Federation and CJSF spring conference held in Chico.

Graduation is right around the corner and we have 40 students graduating. That's about half of our student body.
We will print the names of all of our graduates in the next and final article of the year.
Graduation will be Wednesday, June 9, on Lower Lake High School's football field.
On Tuesday, June 8, the Adult School will have their graduation. Amongst the many adult school graduates are always some former Carlé students. Mr. Zander is their principal, Barbara is their secretary, and some of Carlé's staff and students will be there to cheer them and the rest of the adult
school graduates on.
Over this summer break, Carlé will be getting a much needed face-lift, with a new roof, along with new carpeting in Verna's classroom, Alan's classroom and the media room. In addition the media room will be rewired and upgraded to handle the power demands of the 21st century. Angie's class will be
getting new cabinetry work as well.
Our student of the week was Tyler Lawson because he is a very hard worker when it comes to school and community service. Tyler had the task of being part of the “poop patrol” along with Jorge Veiria and Deserae Schackelford on Memorial Day and did so with great humor and professionalism. Good job, Tyler!
Speaking of Memorial Day, it, along with the Avenue of the Flags, went very well. Dylan Sheldon, Michelle Larue, Anthony Henson, Tyler Lawson, Kara Boyce, Dylan Neverez, Stefani Cook, Karaleena Cole, Jeffrey Martin, Nick Ford, Christine Mcquown, Cierra Trip, Kayella Landsdowne, Robert Potter,
Michelle Perry-Alden, Jorge Vieria, Jeremy Burton, Dikota David, Jason Hamond, Amanda Gamble, Brittany Krumsik, Christina Ortega and Ryan Cumpston all pitched in at the Memorial Day community service event.
On June 1, Tessa Ketchum and Andrea McMullen went with Lake County Community Action Agency to hand out food boxes to seniors over 60 with low income and families with children that have turned five and recently been taken off of WIC. The agency works hard to ensure every senior or family with young children has enough food to make it through every month.
See you next week for Carlé's final article of the year.
