TROJAN ACADEMIC EXPECTATIONS
Trojans use every opportunity to prepare for and exhibit academic excellence
During Finals, Trojans respect others by maintaining a quiet testing environment
Hour of Code
By 2020, we will need about 1 million MORE people that can write code than we have trained. This translates into opportunities for good jobs! For more information on Hour of Code, see the The Hour of Code is Coming below.

STEM @Petaluma High
Basketball Kicks Off! Rooting with Spirit and Class!
The girls also started well with a strong performance versus Rancho Cotate High. Behind Allison Scranton's 19 points and Joelle Krist's double double (17 pts/10 boards), the Trojans came out on top 67-52. They hosted St. Vincent's last Monday.
This weekend, the girls competed at the Anne Scott Tourney in San Anselmo while the boys were on the road at a tournament in Ukiah.
I also hope you had a chance to see Kerry Benefield's article in the Press Democrat. Petaluma High has joined all the schools in the SCL and NBL in competing in Battle of the Fans, a program that encourages more turnout at school athletic events and that emphasizes positive cheering. (the Benefield article is linked below).
We want to encourage this positive message. A committee will come to competing schools and judge fan bases, eventually as Benefield says, "rewarding the school with the most spirited student section during the course of the boys’ and girls’ basketball seasons. And by spirited, organizers mean civilized — fun and raucous, but civilized."
We are hoping for a terrific season for all our on-the-court teams. Go Trojans!
