IMPORTANT NEWS

Where I'm From - Angel Guerrero Naverrete

I was gifted with a stack of poems today from Language Arts teacher, Mrs. Johnson.

They are beautiful, real, and poignant poems by our very own Eagles. For the next few weeks, I will share one each week.

They all start with the same phrase, "I am From..." and paint a picture of each poet, their roots, traditions and treasures.

This week's share if from senior, Angel Guerrero Navarrete.

I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

ATHLETICS

Student Athlete Profile

Carissa Galvan 12th grade

How long have you been playing flag football ?

I’ve been playing for about 4 months, but I’ve always been an athlete. I’ve also been playing for the past 10 years. Currently for flag football I play wide receiver and corner back.

What is your favorite flag football memory so far?

I would say it was playing against La Mirada because they are one of our biggest rivals. They thought they were going to beat us, but they didn’t. It was a close game, it ended as a draw.

What are your plans after high school?

After high school, I want to go to school back east and play softball for a college. I want to experience a new environment. Eventually I want to study and law and become a lawyer.

Who is your favorite teacher?

Mr. Parra is for sure my favorite teacher. I had him last year and he originally got me interested in playing football. He’s just a down to earth person and a cool teacher.
