Dear Raider Families,

Dear Sonora High School Families,

This past week was marked by a special occasion that brought us all together to honor the courage and sacrifices of our nation’s veterans. Our annual Veterans Day ceremony on campus was a great tribute, reminding us of the freedoms we cherish and the dedication of those who serve to protect them.

We owe a tremendous thank you to our JROTC program and to Sgt. Fritz Saalman for their outstanding work in organizing the ceremony. Their commitment and attention to detail created an environment filled with gratitude and respect. Our JROTC students exemplify the honor and discipline we associate with service. We also want to thank the representatives from the American Legion and the veterans who joined us that morning. Their presence was a powerful reminder of the resilience, courage, and selflessness that define our veterans.

Events like these are a vital part of our Sonora High tradition, instilling in our students and staff alike a deep appreciation for those who protect our country. It was heartwarming to see so many students, staff, and community members join together, demonstrating once again the strength of our Sonora High family.

As we continue to reflect on these themes of service and sacrifice, please remember that in observance of Veterans Day, there will be no school on Monday, November 11th. May this day serve as an opportunity for all of us to honor and remember our veterans and active-duty service members.

With gratitude,

Steven A. Cazares

Principal, Sonora High School

Congratulations to Senior Christian Jeng for earning and receiving a ROTC scholarship that covers the cost of post-secondary education for four years. We are so proud of Christian and the hard work that he has put in throughout his time at Sonora High School. He is a perfect example of someone who has utilized the opportunities in front of him to open doors to his future. Way to go!

A special thank you to our entire World Language Department and our students for creating a colorful and festive environment as they pay tribute to the recognition of the Dia De Los Muertos. It is a great reminder of the importance of culture and remembering those who are important to us. It is a beautiful tradition that brings joy, acceptance, and diversity to our hallways.

Football: The Raiders earned a 1st round victory over Alemany in the CIFSS DIV 9 matchup on Thursday night. Olin Morales Hyder got the Raiders off to a great start with 2 TDs in the first half. Anthony Abad led the way in the 2nd half finishing with 287 rushing yards and 4 TDs. Defensively, Aiden Peru had an interception and Brady Ackerman helped the Raiders grab the momentum on a spectacular interception in the 2nd half. The Raiders will take on Quartz Hill at home on Friday, November 15th. Hope to see you all there!
