Welcome To Week 25!
Diamond Bar High School and the Walnut Valley Unified School District are proud to recognize Black History Month as we continue to provide our organization with resources to celebrate diversity while building equitable and inclusive practices for our community.
Dear Brahma Family,
I can think of few things more important at this time than kindness. This week is Kindness Week. Please do your best to be kind to yourself and to others, too. Thank you to our Peer Counselors for organizing this week’s activities to celebrate kindness.
On Tuesday evening the Brahma Foundation will hold their monthly meeting. If you would like to get involved or just come and find out what the Brahma Foundation is all about, the meeting will take place at 7 p.m. in the Bullpen (Room 118). This Saturday is the Brahma Booster’s Quartermania fundraiser. Come out and try our luck and winning valuable prizes for just a quarter!
It's already time to start thinking about next year! This week, GLCs will visit the English classes of all current DBHS students in grades 9-11 to provide information about the process of registering for next year’s courses. Please see the ParentSquare message that was sent out earlier today for more information.
Be careful in the rain this week!
Sincerely,
David Hong
Principal

Our New Music Building Shines!
Thank You, Community! The Diamond Bar High dbhsorg concert band under the direction of Marie Santos rehearses Tuesday in the world-class instrumental music building completed in February 2023. “Our new facilities have exceeded all the hopes and dreams we had when we first started planning!” shared music teacher Steve Acciani of the beautiful three-story building. “Watching our students thrive in an environment worthy of their incredible talent and work ethic is heartwarming.”
