Message from the Principal
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

Seniors—White (Manhattan)
Staff—Blue (the Bronx)
Wednesday- “New York, New York”- tacky tourist day.

Hope to see you there!
Go Spartans!
