To the Damien Community:

I hope the 2011-12 school year was a good one for you and your son. It was an action packed year for me, as I learned to cope and function as an administrator without my mentor, Fr. Travers. I truly appreciate all of the support and encouragement I have received from many of you, and your suggestions on how to improve the school environment are always welcome.

As we spend the next few months preparing for the 2012-13 school year, I would like to keep you informed of certain cosmetic changes that will be taking place on campus during the summer months: CLICK BELOW TO READ MORE.

When Damien High School's Jarrett Gonzales suffered a season-ending injury last year, he worked his way back and earned a chance to compete at the world youth trials.

But the plan always was to recuperate to make a deep run when it mattered most with a trip up north.

Mission accomplished.

Gonzales ended a decorated high school career by bringing home a CIF-State track and field championships in the 300-meter hurdles with a time of 37.30 seconds in front of 7,123 at Buchanan High School.

It was only last year when Gonzales, who is heading to UCLA, suffered a left hamstring injury and rolled his left ankle in the process, forcing him to miss most of the season and not have a chance to run at the Sierra League finals, much less the CIF-Southern Section prelims or finals, or even a trip to Clovis.

But Gonzales, after a strong performance at the prelims just a day earlier, completed the feat Saturday despite some early uneasiness.

A gust of wind right off the starting blocks worried him a bit, but it wasn't long before he hit his stride.

"Coming off the last hurdle on the curve and just opening up my stride and sprinting all the way through," Gonzales said when asked when he felt the race was his.
