• The actors, actresses, musicians and stage
  helpers worked hardand it showed in Mata
  sponsored Talent Show held last month.

  first quarter and over 515 after our second
  quarter.
• Our many dancers practice hardand it showed last
  months show of Cultura Caliente. It was hot!
• Our student leaders try hard when they organize
  our great rallies and have worked hard to make
  our first two rallies in the new gym work for
  EVERYONE on campus!
• Our ROP Merchandising Class tries hard and it
  shows when we see the very well done Fashion
  Shows.

Where does our trying lead to?

• Because of the computers in our cars, auto
  mechanics are tested every two yearsjust to keep
  their job.
• Because manufacturing no longer is an option in
  the job market, a high school diploma is not
  sufficient. More education is a must!!!
• The rewards are too great and the consequences
  are too severe!
• What does the Black and Gold mean to you? To Our
  Community?
