Principal's Message
Happy Friday Cougar Families!
This week flew by in the blink of an eye! Trying to fit five days of school into four days always presents its challenges. I hope your students are settling into the rhythm of the new term and finding their stride. This is such a fun time of year full of student activities. There is no shortage of events and I really want to encourage everyone in our community to make it to at least one event this year that you have never been to. We have athletic events occurring nearly every evening whether in the gym, the pool, or the field. We also have some really exciting ASB events coming up with Mr. Steele next week, Winter Formal in February, and a car show in March. Lastly, please take a moment to see our award winning performing arts departments at the spring musical FAME coming up in March.
These are the events that bring lots of positive energy on our campus every day and make me proud to be the principal at Steele Canyon!
Have an awesome weekend!

You have until March 2, 2023 to apply but you should complete it earlier. The earlier you get it done, the more financial aid that is available to you. Don't forget this is a requirement to be eligible for a Cal-Grant and graduation.
We have two workshops scheduled this month. They will be presented by Grossmont College staff. There is a 50-person maximum per session. Students, please RSVP in Naviance under FAFSA!
