Words cannot adequately describe the level of talent and skill demonstrated by all three Mariachi Groups from Central Santa Ana - Willard, Heninger and Santa Ana High School .

Lots of Positive Drama
So I am a member of a Facebook group for Theater Arts Teachers and recently a new teacher asked in a post what we’re doing for final projects. I answered and then deleted. Because, in all honesty, few could actually replicate what we’re doing here at Santa Ana High School and, quite possibly, wouldn’t have believed me anyway.
Using our UDL framework, we brainstormed and selected eight stories as a class, 2 have to be original, 2 from personal memory, 2 from observed memory and 2 adaptations. Then we made groups of five—2 writers, a director, a publicity manager and a stage manager. week one: The assignment (depending on the role) is a six-page script, a poster, a 3-D set design, and a storyboard. Week two will be a filmed trailer, a program, a cue sheet and a rehearsed six minute play. Week three, the final is a full performance, tech and all, of the piece.
This is 100% engagement. This is Universal Design. This is rigor. This is the value of arts education—empowering their voices, strengthening their skills at resourcefulness, time management, creativity and collaboration.
Oh, and this is Drama I.
-Terry Schwinge, Drama Teacher
UCI symphony conductor, Dr. Tucker
providing guidance to SAHS Saints
The music program had the honor of receiving a lecture from UCI, Clair Trevor School of the Arts , Music Department Chair and UCI symphony conductor Dr. Tucker. Students received a lesson on concert etiquette and program notes for tomorrow nights concert. Today’s lecture is just another example of the strong partnership we have with UCI. Not only does Dr. Tucker care for our students but he challenges them to think, do more and more than anything to demand more. Our students truly benefit and grow from these interactions.

Boys Soccer conquer the Hills and get the View
Night one, Saints Beat Mountain View High School, 3-0 for seasonal record of 2-0, in Huntington Beach Soccer Tournament. 2 goals by Paul and 1 for Saul! Night two of the HBHS Soccer Tournament, Saints out score Laguna Hills 4-2 Goals by Sergio, Saul, Juanito, Ceasar. Tournaments are a tricky thing. After dominating the HBHS tournament for two days the Saints came up short in the morning game losing 1-0. Unfortunately that dropped them out of contention. 1 goal. However that motivated the Saints to fight back even harder in the consolation game and ended the tournament with a 5-0 win over Foothill. Goal Scorers Paul, Saul, Moran, Mateo, Luis came up BiG! Also so proud of our goalies Jesus and Jose and their great saves! We continue the season with a 4-1 record and are excited for what is yet to come for these young men
