The Spartan Times

Good evening Spartans!

Welcome back from fall break! I hope you all had a chance to rest, recharge, and spend time with your loved ones.

As we return to school, we are also entering into our 76th Homecoming Week! This is a special time for our school community to come together and celebrate our history, our traditions, and our school spirit.

Throughout the week, we will have a variety of activities and events planned for students, staff, and the community to enjoy. These events will include Spirit Week activities, a very special Alumni Tea, a homecoming assembly, parade, a homecoming football game, the best Halftime Show in the County and a homecoming dance.

I encourage everyone to get involved in Homecoming Week and show your support for our school. It's a great opportunity to meet new people, make new memories, and cheer on our Spartans!

In addition to Homecoming Week, we also have a lot of other exciting things happening at Chula Vista High School this semester. I encourage you to check our website and social media accounts for updates on the amazing things our are students are doing at the Home of Champions!

I am so proud of the work that our students, staff, and community members are doing to make Chula Vista High School a great place to learn and grow. I look forward to continuing to work with all of you to make this year our best one yet!

Sincerely,

Julio Alcala

Principal

Each day of the spirit week is a song about New York—the days are as follows:

Tuesday- “Welcome to New York”—each grade dresses as a different borough:

Freshmen—Yellow (Staten Island)
Sophomores—Red (Queens)
Juniors--- Black (Brooklyn)
Seniors—White (Manhattan)
Staff—Blue (the Bronx)

Wednesday- “New York, New York”- tacky tourist day.

Thursday- “No Sleep ‘Till Brooklyn”—pajama day

Friday—“Harlem Blues” – Chula Blue

Friday is also our Homecoming Football game vs Southwest High School and our amazing SCPA Halftime Show.

Saturday is our Homecoming Dance at the San Diego Central Library from 7pm to 11pm.

Hope to see you there!

Go Spartans!

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.
