On November 7th our district held its annual Teacher of the Year event where the recipients from every school was recognized. For Corona High School, our TOY is Rachel Fieldhouse. Mrs. Fieldhouse completed her student teaching assignment at Corona and that eventually led to her officially joining our teaching staff in 2007. In this time she has served as our yearbook advisor for ten years, served as department chair and on our site leadership team, has taught Visual Arts and AP Art History, and continues to teach Graphic Arts. Additionally, she is responsible for creating many of the districtwide logos and publications. Congratulations, Mrs. Fieldhouse!

It is bittersweet to announce that Mr. John Abbott has accepted an offer to serve as the new principal at Upland High School effective Tuesday, November 12th. Mr. Abbott has been part of the Panther family since August 2017 as an assistant principal. Although he has been here for just over two years, he has been an integral part of our administration team and our overall school community. Upland High School is fortunate to have him lead their school. We all wish him the best of luck in his new endeavor!

On November 6th, we hosted an Aviation instructor from Japan. He works with their school system that eventually send many of their students here to the US to continue their flight instruction to earn their license. Mr. Naoya Tamanaha was thoroughly impressed with our Aviation program and claimed there is not a program like this in Japan!

Freshmen in Engineering worked on a design challenge called "The Choremaster." The intent was to have them develop a prototype and persuade their classmates why their product would make that particular home chore easier to complete.

Our Robotics team keeps getting better and better and gaining some incredible momentum under the leadership of Mr. Johnson! Their last competition was held on November 2nd where they finished the second day of qualifiers undefeated and are now ranked number one! Keep up the great work, Panthers!

On November 7th, our Health Careers Pathway team hosted our 3rd Annual Careers Exploration Day. We had 5th grade visitors from Jefferson and Vicentia.

Arguably the collections they created are amazing works of art. The following images were created by Hannah Gurney, Sam Hernandez, Brianey Bustamante, Jeanine Leya and Noah Garcia-

As we continue to promote postive behaviors around campus, for the month of November we will be focusing on the A in RAWR, which stands for accountable. Accountable Panthers strive to take ownership of all their actions and successes!

Canned Food Drive is starting next week! This drive helps to stock shelves at the our local Settlement House. We are collecting any non-perishable food items and studens who donate should drop off the cans with their 3rd period teacher. Thank you in advacne for your support.

To promote RAWR behaviors (see below), WICOR (Writing, Inquiry, Collaboration, Organization, and Reading), and overall Health and Wellness for all staff and students, we are implementing Panthers Gettin' Fit. Each Month, Panthers will focus on a different RAWR behavior. Each week, Panthers will focus on a different component of WICOR in the classroom and a different component of health. In addition to our Panthers being academically healthy, we want them to strive for optimal health in all facets of their lives. We want our Corona family and community to join us in our quest for Panthers being Fit and On Point! RAWR!
