The High School Department selected Isaac as Student of the Week (September 21-25) for the following reasons:

Isaac has done a great job of getting the school year off to a good start. I have been very impressed with his work ethic this year and how seriously he has been taking his academic performance. He asks great questions in class, demonstrating that he is not only learning the material but engaging it at a deep level that requires serious thought and commitment. Keep up the good work, Mr. Guge!

Nine swimmers from Valdez High School traveled to Unalaska for a dual swim meet with Unalaska City School October 2, 2015. The Buccaneers swim team, coached by Leo Overduyn, is led by Emily Doyel, Kassady Doyel, Josie McNelly, and Rylee Norris – four returning State swimmers from the 2014 season.

The Unalaska Raiders had a promising performance though the Valdez teams came out on top in most of the head-to-head competitions. Unalaska’s Jonathan Le and Amiel Fernandez finished 1^st and 2^nd in the Boys 200 Yard Freestyle event.  Jonathan Le and Amber Le finished 1^st in the Boys and Girls 100 Yard Breaststroke event.  Kiara Villamor and Delanney McConnell finished 2^nd and 3^rd in the Girls 100 Yard Butterfly event. Delanney McConnell and Marjamae Pili finished 2^nd and 4^th in the Girls 200 Yard Freestyle event.

The Principal's pick for Student of the Week for September 14-18 are the Senior Class of 2016 for the following reasons:

The entire senior class is off to an amazing start to the school year. They have taken it upon themselves to be active leaders in the school both academically as well as in a manner to promote a positive school culture. The maturity and determination that the entire group has shown to begin the school year is admirable. I am certain that with continued focus this will be one of the best senior classes UCSD has ever seen. Keep up the good work and remember to keep focused on your goals throughout the year.
