Message from Principal 

Dear Falcon Parents and Guardians,

It’s hard to believe that we are just one short week away from the start of Winter Break! Our students have worked incredibly hard this semester, and now it’s time to bring that fantastic energy to the finish line for our Final Exams!

**Please note all CETC and IC classes will conclude on Tuesday, December 16th.

Final exams begin next week on Wednesday, December 17.

We want everyone to be prepared and focused, so here is the schedule for finals:

2026 Honor Band Selections

Our student instrumentalists have been working incredibly hard, putting their talent to the test in recent auditions. Their dedication and musicianship have truly shone! Please join us in congratulating these outstanding Falcons who successfully earned spots in highly competitive district ensembles:

A huge round of applause and big congratulations go out to:

• Genesis Salgado (11th Grade, Flute)
• Matthew Legg (11th Grade, Clarinet)

We had a truly magnificent evening as we hosted our annual Winter Gala on Wednesday night, celebrating the incredible talents within our Visual and Performing Arts (VPA) Academy! The event was a stunning showcase of student achievement, featuring breathtaking visual displays of artwork including paintings, pottery, and jewelry. The night was equally vibrant with outstanding performances by our talented Choir, our energetic Mariachi Group, and our smooth Jazz Band, culminating in a wonderful evening that brilliantly highlighted the creativity and dedication of all our VPA students.

Continuing with excellence we would like to showcase our students of the month for November and our student athletes of the month for November.  These students were selected by our staff and have done a great job exemplifying what it means to be a leader.  Please see the pictures below:

As we near the end of the semester, we’re incredibly proud of our students’ dedication and achievements. At Skyline, we are committed to supporting both academic excellence and personal growth. Thank you for being such a vital part of our amazing community!

Let’s keep inspiring our students to finish strong. Together, we’re building a bright future for every student. We appreciate your continued partnership and support! #WeAreSkylineEveryDay

Sincerely,

Anthony Barela
Principal, Skyline High School

Encourage regular hand washing, especially prior to eating, get a flu shot if you are able, and stay home or keep you students home when they are sick. Students with asthma and other chronic conditions can take special care to maintain their health and avoid illness triggers.
