KIII broadcasted a Vaquero pep rally from 5 am - 7 am with

Sarah Acosta on channel 3 news on September 2. Students and

staff arrived extra early to show off San Diego High School's

Vaquero pride. During the pep rally, all the freshmen, sopho-

mores, juniors, and seniors, showed how much pride we have for

this year’s season as our varsity football team headed off to play

Hebbronville to kick off the 2016 football season.

The theme for the 2016-2017 school year is “The Future Starts

Today”, you may be thinking “well yeah that’s obvious” or

“what is that supposed to mean?”. It’s an extremely simple

concept, it means everything we have incorporated in the HS

school day is preparing our students for the “Future”. If some-

thing has happened in the past; losing credit because of failure

or attendance, not passing an EOC assessment, unimpressive

scores reflected on transcripts or anything else; we will make

plans to avoid that in the future. Additionally all students have a

College and Career Readiness course built into their schedule.

C&CR includes a curriculum unique to each grade level that

addresses issues common to that grade. For example, freshmen

may start with organizational and studying strategies while

Seniors are addressing financial aid, scholarships and college

applications. Admittedly not all students are interested in higher

education so C&CR also addresses resume creation, interview

techniques and employment opportunities. Another component

of C&CR is mentoring/monitoring Friday, which involves

teachers checking student attendance, grades and making

connections that hopefully allow students to feel supported.

Parents are encouraged to sign up for the parent portal if they

have not already done so and to attend our monthly principal

talks to stay in the loop. Remember the future starts today!!!

Football- San Diego, a team of pride! We

say not many other school train as hard as

us, not many work as hard as us, and that

may or may not be true, but one thing that

always comes to mind is our pride. Our

team has a whole lot of it. We may have

lost a game but we did not lose our pride.

That’s what takes us to new heights every

single day. We will have our wins and we

will have our loses, but it's like people say,

every dog has its day.
