Students are settling into their classes after a smooth opening of school. Special thanks goes to our Counseling Office staff for their extraordinary efforts in helping students with their schedules.
The ASB started off strong with a fabulous dance in the gym attended by over 1,000 students. Rumor has it that our Football teams showed off their talent in Friday scrimmages against Banning High. Our first Varsity Football Game will be played under the lights at North High School this Friday at 7pm. I do hope you will be there to cheer them on. Don’t forget that Boys’ Water Polo and Girls’ Volleyball will have their first home game this Thursday. It’s always nice to show our teams that we support them.
In July, junior Jacqueline Suitt went to the Platform Diving Nationals in Tucson, Arizona. She earned 24th in the nation in the 10 meter, 7 ½ meter and 5 meter platform dive, a personal best.
Sophomore Isabella Park just returned from The Pan American Games in Peru. She earned three Gold Medals in Synchronized Swimming for Team, Combo and Duet.
The Peninsula High School “Naviance Ambassador Program” (NAP) created by Terri Lewallen was given the Naviance Innovative Program of the Year Award for excellence, creativity and advocacy for students. Terri Lewallen was flown to Minneapolis, Minnesota at the end of July to receive this prestigious award. NAP projects included the “Naviance Pizzeria” video, the “Human Scattergram” and contests aimed at getting students to utilize Family Connections. Naviance is a tool for students and parents to explore post high school options. If you have not signed up, send an email to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

Special thanks to Kaaren Lee for her valiant effort towards winning the Kohl’s $500,000. While we did not win, (we were #62 in the nation) we appreciate the hundreds of hours she invested in this project. If we don’t reach for the stars, we will always wonder if we should have tried. Also, thank you to Rhonda Niden for her ongoing efforts through OMG Global to raise money for Peninsula High.
Alumni News:
Nicole Chiu, Class of 2001 will be featured on the upcoming season of Donald Trump’s “The Apprentice.” After attending Peninsula High, Nicole graduated from UCI and Loyola Law School, she was also crowned Miss Los Angeles and was fourth runner up in the 2008 Miss California USA pageant.
Britanny Morreale, Class of 2006 who was named a Rhodes Scholar in January has just been named the first female in the U. S Air Force Academy’s Division I history to earn the distinction of All-District VII first-team honors.
Go Panthers!
