Thank Our Raider Ranch has been truly busy over the last couple of weeks. They held their annual Halloween movie night where we had approximately 300 students who came and enjoyed popcorn, movie, and time with each other. FFA also hosted their annual pumpkin carving event on campus as well.
Last, but certainly not least, let us welcome Maggie Mae, pictured above, to our campus. Our fall/spring animals are starting to arrive.
Keep up the good work Raider Ranch. #sonorafamily #Raiderranch

When I meet with parent groups one of the most commonly asked questions is, "What is PLC"? Professional Learning Communities or PLCs is dedicated time for our teachers to gather in subject-alike groups to discuss data from assessments to then realize the best instructional strategies to use to meet the needs of our students. This is not only a focus at Sonora High School but all of the schools within the Fullerton Joint Union High School District. We know that the best way to reach the academic needs of our students is to work together. #beholdblueandgold #sonorastrong | College and Career Center | Kudos to our Guidance Techs, Mrs. Alfanso and Ms. Miller. They are presented to our English classes on the services that they offer through our College and Career Center. I have personally sat through a couple of the presentations and they are so informative. Thank you so much Guidance Techs for the representation of resources and information to our students. Please check out the webpage by clicking the button below. #beholdblueandgold | |
Halloween Sports Pep Rally | Thank you ASB for an amazingly spirited Fall Sports Rally. In case you missed it, please check out the video below. | Our teachers had just as much fun in the rally with our annual musical chairs. Last year Mrs. Barajas won and this year we crowned a new winner, Mrs. Castello. Congratulations to everyone who fiercely competed. #sonoraSTRONG | Fullerton Joint Union High School News | Please click the document below to read further: | We are extremely proud of how our students performed on the CAASPP last year. Although the scores are only in English and Math, they are indicative of how hard our teachers across our campus work in ensuring the students have the skills necessary to be successful not just for this assessment, but how college and career-ready our students are. We increased from the previous testing cycle in both English and Math. Thank you families for all of your support as we continue to improve the delivery of our best instruction to all of our students. #beholdblueandgold | |
Attention all AP/IB Students. Now is the time to register for testing. Please click the document below for further information. | The Heart of Sonora Raiders | |
The heart of our Sonora Raiders was on full display during Friday night's Varsity Football game. When the score looked like the other team was going to win, there was indescribable energy that came over our Raiders. They fought hard to tie the game in the fourth quarter, then after two amazing turn-overs caused by our defense, we were able to march down the field and kick the winning field goal with no time left on the clock. It is truly special when you have your defense, offense, and special teams coming together on the same beat, a heartbeat, it is an unstoppable force. Great job coaching staff and players. Thank you to our families and everyone who came out to support your Raiders!! #ourway #sonorastrong #beholdblueandgold
