Carlé High would like to send our condolences to the family of John Wellman who recently passed away.
Mr. Wellman was the director of the Konocti Adult School. John worked very closely with Carlé and many other students and adults in the community, teaching them about art and many other subjects. John will be greatly missed and all of the hard work he has done that has benefited the community over the years will always be remembered.
This week is Thanksgiving break and we hope everyone here has a safe and fun turkey day!
Friday, Nov. 20, is the end of the second out of six of grading periods, and we are now one third of the way through our school year. All of the students at Carlé work very hard to maintain their grades and are substantially rewarded for maintaining their high grades.
Bianca Frias, Tyler Gillam and Alex Von Rekowski are filming for TV8, which student Ryan Cumpston is Carlé's liaison. This group will be filming the Clearlake City Council meetings two Tuesdays and two Thursdays a month, there are still sign-ups available for those interested.
Our CHILY prize winner this week was Chantelle Clemons! Congratulations to Chantelle.
Our student of the week was Ryan Cumpston who our principal Ed Zander nominated for helping our school whenever he can and having excellent attendance, being serious about his grades and having an over-all great attitude. Congratulations Ryan and keep up the hard work!
Carlé's birthdays last week were Nyieelaah X-Tate on Nov. 12 and Jonnathan Truax on Nov. 11.

“The wines contain the essence and spirit of what makes Napa Valley College so special to our community. Every aspect of our wine branding and business represents a true collaboration of the wine industry, our students, and our faculty and staff,” said Bryan Avila, wine maker.
The public is invited to celebrate this event at the Napa Valley Vintners’ Teaching Winery, on Monday, Nov. 16, between the hours of 5:30 p.m. and 8:30 p.m.
Wine samples of the following Napa Valley College Estate wines will be poured: 2008 Estate Chardonnay, 2008 Estate Pinot Noir, and 2008 Estate Sauvignon Blanc. Rose of Cabernet is a special release from the student label series and will also be poured. Light refreshments will be served.
No wine will be for sale at the event. All of the wine available for sale will be pre-sold online, and pre-sold wine can be picked up at the event. Wine quantities are very limited this year and college wine will be sold on a first-come, first-serve basis. Sale proceeds will be used to help support the program.
The wine recently received high marks in a double blind tasting. A panel of senior college staff and professional winemakers from Napa Valley wineries tasted college wine with wine from three other prominent wineries. The Sauvignon Blanc was voted first and the Chardonnay tied for first.
“I am very happy with the quality of the college wine. While I provide the recipe, the students maintain the quality and are doing an excellent job,” Avila said.
For more information on the release event or about ordering, please call the winery at 707-253-3049 or email to
The long-established Napa Valley College Viticulture and Winery Technology program is headed by Dr. Stephen Krebs, program coordinator, who also serves as vineyard manager. Bryan Avila is wine maker and Greg Siewert, assistant wine maker. Greg Miraglia is dean, Career Technical Education.

On Friday, Nov. 30, Carlé celebrated its annual Harvest Fest.
“The Harvest Fest was a great success because the entire student body got involved in all the fun activities created by our students!” said our principal, Ed Zander.
This was very true; the Harvest Fest went off without a hitch. All the students were smiling and everyone had a great time. Our advisories competed against each other in the many games.
Angie Siegel's advisory won after accumulating the most points at the Harvest Fest. An awesome plaque was created by Paul Silsby which has all the names of each student from Angie's advisory on it. It will hang on Carle's walls for a long time so the advisory can come back for a visit and show it off.
Our monthly staff-student lunch is going to be on Nov. 18. Helping the wonderful Carli Tippett will be student cooks: Michelle Larue, Christine Mcquown, Winter Gray and Rebecca Hackler.
Carlé High will have a crew join the local TV8 team in filming the local rodeo. John Erfurth, a radio announcer from KXBX and Allen Markowski, the producer of TV8 are helping us coordinate the filming.
This week's CHILY prizewinner was Kara Boyce!
Our student of the week last week was Jackie Stephenson! The entire staff nominated her because she has ³shown extreme growth here at Carlé, has a great attitude and an excellent academic focus. Jackie has great attendance as well.
Finally, our student representative for the local safe house is Stephani Cook. The safe house is a program that provides temporary residency to runaway, homeless and “throwaway” youth. They also provide counseling and on-site drug and alcohol counseling and treatment. You can get help finishing school and seeking employment here as well. The two numbers available for the safe house are 707-994-4076 and 707-995-3235.
We truly appreciate the great efforts by many many people that have gone into making the safe house a positive option for young people in need.
