The AP exam registration deadline is fast approaching! The final date to register and pay is November 7th. By that time, students should be enrolled in their AP course online through College Board, declared their testing intention, and paid for their exam through Total Registration. If you need help with student accounts or registration, please check with www.Collegeboard.org or www.totalregistration.net/ap/050675. Please do not delay the registration of your student as after November 7th, you will incur a late fee.

Every year our World Languages Department hosts a Day of the Dead altar contest between Spanish classes as a way to raise awareness of this very special cultural holiday. Below you will find pictures of the altars. Congratulations to Ms. Gomez and her students for earning first place this year. Second place went to Ms. Gardner and third place to Mrs. Serrato.

Mr. Brady has just completed a new short video highlighting our STEM/CTE programs. Click on this link and enjoy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=73l0LSetJxs

Also, as our monthly STEM newsletter is released, I will include it below in this section for your reading pleasure!

Freshmen Engineering students were given a design bridge building challenge. The students were given one sheet of Mylar and could cut it, twist it, and/or crease it however they wished, but could not use any tape or glue. The winning team had to span the greatest gap with the winning bridge having a span of 38.375 inches!

Corona High CTE Photography has been working on using techniques in lighting and forced perspective composition rules to create "tiny towers" and "cities" using staples. Each student used a Canon 100mm 2.8 Macro Lens to complete the project. Photographers used their creativity and imagination with natural light, cell phone lights, and even a string of Christmas lights to create the light they needed for the most believable city scape possible. They really enjoyed using this technique that can be carried over for many different applications in the future.

Opening day is almost here! Don't miss our Theatre Arts Department's fall production, Almost, Maine! I've seen rehearsals and it is going to be great! Use this website to reserve your tickets: http://our.show/corona-high-school/almostmaine.

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!

Below are just a few random pictures of our staff on Halloween.

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!

Football: Football season is coming to a close tonight as we travel to Norco High School to play our final game of the year. Thank you to all our supporters this year and to our seniors for their leadership. Good luck tonight, Panthers!

Cross Country: We competed at the Mount Sac XC Invitational where junior standouts, Victor Ceja placed second and Elisa Huerta took 4th in the Varsity Races. Sophomores, Jason Esquivel, Skyler Lyons, and Jacob Madriaga had outstanding races as well. Juniors, Jared Janewicz and Diego Guerrero ran fast times on this very difficult course. Freshman, Hayley Visnaw ran a very competitive time also. Our runners will be competing in the last Big VIII league meet on Wednesday, November 6th at Andulka Part in Riverside at 2:00 pm.

Boys Water Polo: Our Panthers ended their season in 4th place in the Big VIII and fell just shy of making the post-season.

*Please note: All fall sports have ended with the exception of tonight's football game at Norco High School and Wednesday's XC meet in Riverside. Good luck to our Panthers that are still competing!
