Friday night's Homecoming Game against Kennedy of Fremont was not the game that the seniors wanted to play. We squeaked out a win over a good Kennedy team.

Even though it was one of our worst played games, we kept our heads high. We were victorious by a score of 18-12. It is difficult to win a game when you turn the ball over seven times but we prevailed. Our offense had its worst game of the year but our defense had one of its best. We were constantly put in bad situations but time after time we came through with clutch stops. We only gave up six points.

"The arts are not just a nice thing to have or to do if there is free time or if one can afford it. Rather paintings and poetry, music ... design and dialogue, they all define who we are as a people and provide an account of our history for the next generation.” - First Lady Michelle Obama

A year after his election, President Obama has announced the 25 appointees for the President's Committee on the Arts and the Humanities, a committee that focuses on and recognizes the excellence on the arts and humanities, education, and cultural diplomacy and understanding. The committee advises the president on cultural affairs and aims to encourage partnerships between the private and the public sectors.
