The Spartan Times

Dear Spartan Community,

As we approach the final week of the fall semester, I am filled with immense pride and gratitude for the incredible achievements and positive spirit that have defined our school community. From academic excellence to artistic performances, athletic victories to community service initiatives, we have witnessed countless examples of Spartan spirit shining through.

This week, our students will embark on finals week, culminating the hard work and dedication they have poured into their studies throughout the semester. I have no doubt that they will approach these challenges with the same resilience and determination they have demonstrated all year. To our students, I want to say: Believe in yourselves, stay focused, and strive for your personal best. We are all cheering you on!

As we close the chapter on the fall semester, I want to take a moment to express my sincere appreciation for the tireless efforts of our dedicated staff and faculty. Their unwavering commitment to student success, coupled with their passion for learning and creativity, has fostered an environment where Spartans feel valued and supported.

Thank you to our supportive parents and guardians who actively participate in our school community and provide invaluable support to their children. Your partnership is essential in ensuring the success of our students.

Finally, I want to extend my warmest wishes for a peaceful, joyful, and prosperous winter break. May you enjoy the time spent with loved ones, recharge your batteries, and return refreshed and ready for the challenges and opportunities that await in the new year.

I am incredibly optimistic about the future of Chula Vista High School. Together, you will continue to build a school community that is inclusive, innovative, and dedicated to the success of every student.

From all of us at Chula Vista High School, we wish you a happy holiday season and a prosperous New Year!

With Spartan pride,

Julio Alcala

One of the ways that we can all take part in keeping our school community safe, is by reporting crime to the authorities. If you have information of any criminal activity on our campus or in the community, you can submit an anonymous tip by using the P3 website. The tip will be submitted directly to San Diego Crime Stoppers and our local law enforcement agency.
