What an amazing week at Eastlake High School. We were busy with PSAT, Titan Bootcamp and of course, Homecoming! I am so proud to be the principal of this amazing school. Our staff, students and parents/guardians rock! Here are some big picture items for your consideration:

A. Coffee with the Principal. I hope to see many of you this Wednesday in our library at 8:30. We have a great guest speaker who will discuss the dangers of vaping. I also want to start a book club for the next several months. I am reading a book called Brainstorm by Daniel Siegel. It's a great read with practical tips on working with the teenage brain. I would love for us to speak about the topics for at least 15-20 minutes at future Coffee with the Principal meetings. We will also discuss the Titan Foundation/Alumni Association this week. Hope to see you this week. Your voice is important.

B. Community and Parent Leadership. We need you to be a part of the WASC accreditation process. We will be reaching our shortly with tremendous opportunities for our community to express their suggestions and concerns to our school leadership team.

C. Parent Series. Check out the latest video for our Parent Series. This video focuses on A-G College requirements for CSU/UC schools. Our teachers were amazing in this video. LINK.

D. Homecoming Memories. Mr. Mones was so nice enough to share some amazing photos from this week.

F. Girls STEAM Conference. We encourage you attend this amazing event with your daughter. Let's promote all opportunities for our future female stars. Please see the flyer below. Thank you Mr. Foust for organizing this great event.

G. Senior Contracts. Parents of seniors, please make sure you talk to your students about expectations for the remainder of the year. Your student should have received a contract for you to review. I know they will do the right thing!

I know that was a lot to share! Thank you for your support of all things Eastlake High School. I hope to meet you soon. If you have a moment, take the time to recognize our staff below! As always, Go Titans!

In Service,

Ricardo Cooke, Ed.D.
