Last week, our Eagle Family learned of the passing of Junior, Thania Mendez. Our thoughts and prayers go out to her family and friends during this incredibly difficult time. Thania was a cheerleader, soccer player, and Softball player. And although she was new to Glenn this year, she quickly became an important part of these groups and more.

On Friday, we visited each of Thania's classes to share the difficult news with them. We held grief groups and supports in the library for her athletic groups and any students who needed a trusted adult or each other to talk through the complicated feelings of grief. These supports will continue for as long as we need them.

Some of our 11th and 12th grade ACE, AMP, AVID, Computer Science, and TCAP Eagles participated in the District's 2025 Mock Interviews. Students took advantage of this great opportunity to practice their interviewing skills and receive valuable feedback. Great job, Eagles!

Quarter 3 of the 24-25 School Year ended on Friday, March 14. Teachers will submit grades early this week and we anticipate the report cards being mailed during the week of March 24. Please keep you eye on the mail and reach out to JGHS with any questions (562-210-3000).
