LOWER LAKE, Calif. – The sixth and final grading period has commenced.

At this time Carlé High School is looking at a graduating class of 34 students that have finished their credits and all other requirements for graduation.

Congratulations graduating class of 2016 – we couldn’t be prouder.

The Student of the Week for the week of April 4 was Vanessa Gonzales. Congratulations!

The proud Dan Maes, who was the nominating teacher, had this to say: “Vanessa Gongales was selected as Carlé’s student of the week because of her solid work ethic in all of her classes. Vanessa demonstrates a positive attitude by doing what she is supposed to do.”

Carlé High School’s gold level students from the fourth grading period had a field trip led by teachers Angie and Alan Siegel to Mackerricher State Park.

They spent their day knee-deep in tide pools and with their spare time, had lunch on the beautiful beach of this amazing park.

“It was amazing, we all had a lot of fun learning about tide pools and seals and hanging out on the beach. It’s definitely something we should repeat next year,” said gold level student Andrew Astorga

The student of week for the week of April 11 was Nick Begins.

Another proud teacher, Alan Siegel to be exact, had nothing but amazing things to say. “Nick is incredibly helpful and he is kind to everyone around him. I hear nothing but positive things from the people he surrounds himself with. He comes to school everyday early to set up for the morning bulletin without being asked. It’s his kind of positive attitude that made my decision so easy to nominate Nick. Congratulations!”

Prom is planned for May 6. The whole student body is going to be involved in the voting of the theme this year.

This week there will be a poll for the students to pick a theme that they desire. The one theme with the most votes will be this year’s prom theme. We have: “A Night in Wonderland,” “A Night Under The Sea” and “A Night Under The Stars.”

The winners of our economic survival game were: First place, Nick Begins and Daniel Salazar; second place, Stephani Utley and Vincente Padilla; and third place, Nicole Arlitt. Congratulations! Plaques to commemorate their success were made for three places by the media class.

Secretary Barbara Dye crunched all the numbers and was pleased to announce gold level students for the fifth grading period. These successful students are: Andrew Astorga, Nick Begins, Destiny Blevins, Kayla Doyle, and Brianna E. Legg. Congratulations!
