Damien High School

Dear freshmen parents and students,

Our upcoming Damien Day in the Community is dedicated to a freshmen day of service in celebration of Earth Day.  Centered on the theme of "Our Global Responsibility to the Environment," the freshmen class will complement their Freshman Seminar: Global Issues/Debate curriculum by serving the local environment on Saturday, April 21 from 8am to 1pm. All freshmen are required to fulfill this service project as part of their Freshman Seminar curriculum.  If a student is unable to participate on Saturday, April 21, they must complete an alternate project on their own. See your Freshman Seminar teacher for more details.

Please return the completed volunteer permission form to your Freshman Seminar teacher on Monday, April 16th.

Spartans, are you looking for ways to serve your local community this vacation and get Christian Service hours?

Hello April!  Where has the school year gone?  Greetings from my office on an overcast Saturday morning.  I am sitting here waiting for the 8^th graders to finish the math portion of the Placement Test so they can have their break and eat some donuts (hopefully there will be some for the principal too!).  This is our 2^nd Placement Test, and we are testing another 25 students today.  We tested 300 in January, so things are looking up enrollment wise!

The season of Lent continues, and we are looking forward to Easter Break which begins on April 5th.  On March 18^th we had our 46^th Annual St. Monica’s Guild Fashion Show in Industry Hills.  It was a huge success, and I want to thank all the mothers in the Guild for making the event so enjoyable.  Our Lenten Student Body Reconciliation was on March 27^th.  I want to thank the over 20 priests from the local parishes and the Sacred Hearts Community for participating in this important service for our students.

COVINA - Damien High School, behind a strong pitching performance by sophomore Grant Hockin, shut out Charter Oak, 4-0, on Tuesday in a Sierra League game.

Hockin, making his second league start, pitched into the seventh inning and allowed only four hits to win his third game.
