A message from Coach Mitchell

Hello Everyone, 

I just want to thank all the staff, parents/ guardians, students of the Color guard on an amazing season. Out of 39 high schools, the Colorguard made 17th place with a score of 78.22. I am super proud of what these students have accomplished throughout the season. These great performers have definitely demonstrated a great deal of hard work, determination, passion, and great resilience. I am so proud and a great big huge thank you to the parents for being the greatest support throughout the years. Without all your support this would not have even been possible. 

Thank you for all your support, 

Mitchell AJ Hautea 

Congratulations to our Jazz students who performed at the Fullerton Jazz Festival on Saturday, April 20th
