A MESSAGE FROM PRINCIPAL BAGDASARIAN |
|
York students had an amazing experience at prom/post prom this past weekend. The prom venue was spectacular and the students were thrilled. Thank you to Mr. Moran, Dr. Barragan, Mr. McGuire and our student council for their efforts in making Saturday a huge success. Also, thank you to the York PTSA and parents who assisted at post prom.
Over the past few weeks we have celebrated some of the impressive accomplishments of our students. We are fortunate at York High School to have so many students that deserve to be recognized for their character, talents and intelligence. Many of these students will graduate in just a few short weeks and enter post-secondary opportunities. The skills and perseverance that our students have displayed over the past two years has certainly strengthened their preparedness for life after York.
Finally, the York Administration and Faculty have always been very proud of our students and their behavior. We expect this outstanding behavior to continue. As a reminder, students are prohibited from participating in year‐end pranks and/or vandalism at school. Let's continue to take great pride in our school.
As always, I wish to express my sincere gratitude toward our entire school community. We would not be the amazing school that we are without the help and support of all of you.

The PTSA Academic Boosters and Counseling Department will host the Class of 2022 Duke Decision Day in the Commons during all lunch periods and 8th period on Monday, May 2nd.
- EVERYONE IS ENCOURAGED TO PARTICIPATE.
- Seniors should wear the shirt for your school, military branch, or place of employment. If they do not have that, they can wear the colors of their school, military branch, or place of employment.
- If they are still figuring out their plans, the maps will stay up through graduation. They can stop by the CCRC at a future time for a post-it to post their decision!
|
|
On their way out of the building during lunch or after classes on Monday, May 3rd, seniors will be able to pick up a FREE Class of 2022 Yard Sign from the Commons. They should only pick it up AS THEY ARE LEAVING the building because they are too big to store in lockers or carry around the building. Many thanks to the PTSA for providing these! |
