Serra High School says Goodbye to Lisa Smith:

We were heartbroken this week to learn that  Lisa Smith, English teacher for over 10 years at Serra High School lost her battle with cancer. She worked right up until the end and she will be missed. Grief counselors were on campus in order to help students and staff and a remembrance for her is schedule for next week organized by the students.

Please make sure you are referring to our calendar. Throughout the holiday season periodically I will update this page with important dates:

No major dates and times this week to report. Please refer to the athletics page for games this week.

ATHLETICS
Boys basketball: Had an amazing win over our rivals Patrick Henry. It was an amazing game as they battled it out. Congrats!

Girls Rugby:  They played a total of 4 games, and won them all. These ladies scored a total of 15 trys totaling 89 points. More importantly, their sportsmanship was above reproach, even called out specifically by the referee after the matches. 

 Right now Life University has offered Maddison Zaben a scholarship, and Michaela Freitas- Gabel had been in contact with Long Island University. 

Cheer: Fundraiser!!!

ROTC:
Congratulations!

Our Serra CyberPatriot team advances to the State Round in the Gold Division.  Nine more points would have placed us in the Platinum Division (Top 30). This is the only division that can qualify for Nationals.  The lowest scoring team in the Platinum Division scored a 308.  We scored 300.  Nine more points were needed, and that was not a lot of points to overcome since the top team in Platinum scored a little over 500.  The Gold (Mid 40%), and Silver (Lower 30%) divisions will all compete within their own division in the State Round.  The top 25% of those teams will advance and finish up in the Semifinal Round. Based on our score, we should advance in the Gold Division to the semi's and hopefully win it all.
