Principal's Message
Happy Friday Cougar Families!
It has been a fun week as our seniors prepare for Prom this weekend. I would like to thank our ASB for putting on a fun Senior Sendoff Assembly today. It was a fun way to end our week and celebrate all that the class of 2023 has accomplished over the past four years.
Congratulations to the Division CIF Champion Girls Track & Field Team. They dominated the competition last weekend at Mt. Carmel High School and are preparing for the State Competition this weekend in Fresno. Steele Canyon athletes who qualified include Kailani Eqing, Ily Barclay, Brionna Dickens, Bicolette Burkhardt, Kennedi Jones, Lillian Cook, Jahmyia Richardson, and Kailey Fuller.
Memorial Day is upon us. While it is symbolic of the end of the school year and beginning of summer, please take a moment to reflect on, honor, and mourn the military personnel who sacrificed their lives in the performance of their military duties while serving in the United States Armed Forces.
