Trojan Update

In the Homestretch for the Holidays!
Well, we are headed into the last few days of classes before finals next week. Thank you for being a part of the Petaluma High community! We just completed a fun Spirit Week at school - thank you to our ASB crew for putting it all together, and for a spirited rally last week. (Below, Drumline performs at the rally and Ms. Jackson and Ms. McClelland prepare to Sumo race!)
Please read on for updates and items on all things PHS. Don't forget to pick up tickets for the Crab Feed, a great fundraiser and a truly fun time.
Have a great rest of the week!

Athletics RoundUp
The varsity girls are off to a 4-3 start and looking strong as they prep for league play. Coach Ratshin has them looking forward to league play, but up next is a tall test at Maria Carillo Tuesday night. The JV are currently 7-2 and looking good.
Girls varsity soccer has a 4-2 record so far, including wins over Rancho Cotate, Cardinal Neman, and San Marin. They entertain Healdsburg on Wednesday before hitting the road at American Canyon on Friday. The varsity boys are a young group who have played a tough preseason schedule. They are showing some real talent. They take on Deer Valley Tuesday night in Antioch.
Go Trojans!

Mr. Tacata Takes Home County EoY - Will Represent PHS at State
Big up congrats to Phil Tacata for being selected as the California League of High Schools Sonoma County Educator of the Year! It is a huge honor to be the Petaluma High teacher of the year, but to go on and be recognized in Sonoma County really makes us proud. Below in his own words...
"Just wanted to say thank you to all the folks who came out to the Teacher of the Year Ceremony in Healdsburg the other night... Many of my friends and family travelled far to get out there (Denver, Portland, Merced, the City) and my crazy super-colleagues bounced out of a staff meeting early and sat in traffic for an hour+ to make it. At the end of the night, I was honored with the title, "Region 1 - Sonoma County Teacher of the Year for 2018." Pretty cool :) But not as cool as being blessed to have these people in my life.
I am a teacher in the greatest school in the greatest community in the heart of the North Bay. I don't take it for granted. And I am a very lucky man."
Holiday Cheer Gift Card Drive!
Thank you to all the PHS parents and community members who donated to the Holiday Cheer Drive. Please see below for a message from Brenda Martin and Corrie Williams, PHS parents who led the drive:
"I am proud to say that just with what was dropped off to the school we have almost $2,250 worth of gift cards to bless these 50 students this holiday season. I have all the notes of encouragement written and in an unsealed envelope so the card can be signed by whomever and then gift cards placed inside of them. Corrie Williams and I have enjoyed taking on this little project, of course it could not have been possible without all the support from Petaluma High, Petaluma and from even afar. Thank you for being open to this idea."
Merry Christmas!
