Wind Ensemble and Symphony Orchestra Perform in New York!
Thank you to Band Directors Mr. Acciani and Mrs. Santos for taking our students to New York to perform at the David Geffen Hall! Music critic Jeffrey Williams from the New York Concert Review, wrote a stellar review about our Brahma musicians, Mrs. Santos, & Mr. Acciani's trip to New York!
See below for an excerpt from his review of the performance!
"Marie Santos led with a sure hand through this rollercoaster of a journey. Let’s take a moment to recognize the many soloists (Tuba, English Horn, Flute, and Alto Flute, to name a few) who played with great poise and skill. I’m still amazed after all this that this was a HIGH SCHOOL ensemble!"

Go Brahmas!

Parking Lot Traffic Pattern
Dear Brahma Parents and Guardians,
Thank you for following the traffic pattern and cones setup in the student parking lot. Our parking lot cones will go into position in period 5 and straighten out for normal flow at 3:40 PM. Please see the map (above) to see the cones that will be guiding traffic from period 5 to 3:40 PM. In the morning, the cones will be straight to allow the free flow of traffic.
Special thanks to Assistant Principal, Dr. Chang, Security Staff Andy Abril, Harrison Lindsey, John Rodriguez, Alicia Valdes, Lisa Wong-Owens, & Gary Warren for keeping our parking lot safe!
Go Brahmas!
Walnut Valley Unified School District has moved to ParentSquare!
We are excited to let you know that starting the 2022-2023 school year, ParentSquare will be replacing Blackboard Connect as the new district-wide communication platform. ParentSquare, will allow Diamond Bar High to unify all parent communication from the district, schools, classrooms, and school activity groups under one umbrella.
With ParentSquare you’ll be able to
- Receive all school and classroom communication via email, text or app
- View and download photos
- View the school and available classroom calendars
It is our hope that WVUSD's partnership with ParentSquare will enable a stronger dialogue between school & home. We also hope it will help empower everyone within the school community to stay connected and informed.
While ParentSquare can send messages through both email and text messages, we believe the best experience will be through the phone/tablet app which you can download by the links below.
DOWNLOAD FROM APPLE'S APP STORE
You can also create a password for your ParentSquare account on your computer by clicking HERE.
