SERRA HIGH IN THE NEWS!
SERRA HIGH AND THE MAYOR!!!!

Thursday, February 15, Serra students produced a multi-camera YouTube webcast at the San Diego Civic Center Featuring Mayor, Kevin Faulconer.  The SoCal Hospitality and Tourism Conference attracted over 500 high school students.   Our Serra students showed true talent and professionalism. Thank you for your support!


WALK-OUTS for Gun Control:


We believe strongly in our students as and they have made clear to us that they believe some form of gun control is needed. WE HEAR YOU!

CLICK HERE FOR ARTICLE:

There are 3 walk outs planned for March 14, March 24 and in addition April 20th. These are student led walkouts across the nation. 
The March 14th 2018 is a 17 minute walk out and the March 24 and April 20 is a full day missed of school. We acknowledge that individuals have a right to demonstrate to support a cause. More information will be coming on this and what the expectation is and what to expect. We want to make sure the walk out is positive and a forum is held for expression of ideas and opinion but is structured and safe. We support our students but it has to have impact, to have impact it has to be thought about so we don't detract from the cause. Please if your children are talking about this let them know information is coming but also talk about 17 minutes being just that and not more. That detracts and our point gets lost if student take advantage.

MORE INFORMATION COMING IN UPCOMING WEEKS about how we are going to address each one. Please read the article and talk with your children about where their efforts should be in regards to these dates. Where are they going to make the most positive impact.

Teacher Feature! 
Effren Villanueva--Video Production


Mr. Villanueva class today was presenting videos they had made for the iVIE competition. The videos were AMAZING! Great sound, voice overs, editing, and much more! I was very impressed. Topics included How to Videos, and Public Service Announcements! Good luck for the competition.
--THE BEST PART--
Students gave "warm and fuzzies" and in addition the student who produced the video was able to critique their own work verbally to the other students in the class saying what they liked, struggled with, and would change. VERY reflective!

Great job Effren!
