Thank you to Boys Tennis coaches and
congrats to our Seniors!
Boys Tennis wants to thank Coach Mark McGuire and Coach Allen Yap for their dedication to the 2020 team. It’s a shame our season was cut short, as the Varsity team was looking good at 5-1 and a #8 ranking in the CIF Open Division. The JV team was also solid with a 6-2 record. Congrats to our seniors, we will miss you all!

The Mira Costa Girls Lacrosse program would like to thank our coaches for their amazing leadership and spirit!
The entire Mira Costa Girls Lacrosse program would like to thank our coaches for their amazing leadership and spirit during the trying 2020 Spring Season. Off to a 7-0 start and given the #1 CIF Division 2 ranking in the final coaches poll, the Girls Lacrosse team was off to it’s greatest start in the history of the program. Though saddened that the season was cut short, our Head Varsity Coach Amanda Cross, Asst. Varisty Coach Maddy Morrissey and Head JV Coach Melissa Marquez have continued to engage with the girls and we are excited about carrying the abbreviated 2020 success into next season!

Boys Volleyball thanks coaches
for a terrific start of season!
Like all spring sports, volleyball ended abruptly. The team had a strong start with a 10-0 record and a big win at the Best of the West tournament in San Diego. They beat Corona Del Mar easily in the finals to take the trophy.
Mira Costa had not won the BOW tournament since 2011.
The Daily Breeze, and the Easy Reader wrote articles on the team, as they were favored to win CIF this year. After losing CIF and State to Newport Harbor last season, they were poised to win with most of the players returning, and CDM having lost their two top players.
The team was strong with returning seniors, three of whom will play at the collegiate level. The team had a mix of juniors and seniors that got along well, and worked well together on the court. It was going to be a great season.
We want to wish our seniors all of the best in their new adventure. It would have been great to see them finish the season, but we are glad that at least some of the season played out, and they finished on top.
Thank you to all of our hard working and motivational coaches: Head Coach Avery Drost, Assistant Coaches: Greg Snyder, Brad Lawson, and Ryan Foose. JV Coach: Mike Cook and his assistant Ethan Morgan. FS Coach Ryan Olson. The boys are lucky to have had such dedicated and inspiring coaches. Coach Brad moved to Texas with his new wife, and will be greatly missed. Coach Ryan Foose was an important part of the sports psychology aspect, and is now back with the army working on mental health with our troops. We wish them the best in their new life. We appreciate everyone who supported the team, and look forward to being in the new gym next season, and making a go of it!

Mustang Softball would like to thank their amazing coaches for all their hard work!
Mustang Softball would like to thank our fabulous coaches for all their work getting the team and fields ready for the 2020 season. We may have only played a handful of our planned games, but both Varsity and JV were ready to take the Bay League by storm! We like to think we would have made it all the way to the CIF finals this past week. We will miss our seniors and wish them luck as they head off to college. We can’t wait to get back on the field as a team next year. Thank you to our Varsity coaches Michael Smith and Ted Mureau and our JV coaches Paul Hoffman and Kenneth Schwartz.

Boys Golf recognizes seniors!
The Boy’s Golf team got off to a strong start to the season! The Varsity began the season 3-0 with non-league wins against quality opponents such as Peninsula, Maranatha and of rival Redondo, along with strong showings in two early season tournaments.
Unfortunately, an abrupt end to the season came premature due to the COVID 19 crisis. We were really looking forward to another successful season on the strength of a strong senior class led by team captain Aidan Oliver, who will be playing golf for Sonoma State University next year. It is heartbreaking that most of the thirteen seniors who would have been competing throughout the season for match opportunities were four year contributors to the program and had waited patiently for the opportunities that would come to them as Varsity seniors.
I am extremely proud of our graduating seniors and honored to have coached such a fine group of young men over the years. Looking ahead to next season, the team will be led by returning Varsity member and Junior standout Tanner Stewart.
This team was showing a lot of potential that, unfortunately, will be unrealized. Their contributions over the years will be missed; however they can be proud that they leave behind a high standard of quality for future teams to live up to!

We are so sad we had to cut our season short, but we are fortunate to have played in several IBVL tourneys, the new Orange County league, and that we had our Costa Pairs tourney. Our Beach team was undefeated in IBVL and the Orange County League.
Thanks for being so supportive and helping grow our sport!

Badminton team has great memories of
wonderful badminton team!
COVID-19 virus cut short of our badminton season, but it would not erase our good memory of this wonderful badminton team, nor would it reduce our appreciation to our coaches and their dedication. Most importantly, it should not stop our tradition as a badminton team to have an end-of-year party to send our best wishes to our seniors!
The Badminton Booster Club will hold a virtual end-of-year party on Saturday, June 6th. Parents of the Badminton Booster Club and student players will thank our coaches and celebrate with our newly graduated seniors on more time in this special “party”.

Surf Team gives special thank you to
Coach Geller and Coach Mike!
The Mira Costa Surf team, along with all the other sports, have had to go into a very unexpected and abrupt break. The team even had to endure many weeks of our local beaches and ocean being closed. Thankfully the ocean has re-opened and many of the athletes are able to enjoy a morning surf.
We wanted to say a special thank you to Coach Geller and Coach Mike. Unfortunately this is the last year Coach Mike is going to be with our program and we truly wished for a different ending. The athletes will miss his booming voice and amazing spirit! We wish him well in his future endeavors!
We are hopeful to be able to compete in NSSA Nationals at some point this summer when it is deemed safe to resume competition. The team is also hopeful we will be able to start the new season competing in our local league if allowed.
To wrap up this year, the team is having a special Senior ceremony as well as a team banquet via Zoom.

Every singer who stood on a riser has music in their heart. Thanks to Mr. Michael Hayden and Mr. Mark McCormick,
it will always be there. We are forever grateful!
For thirteen years, the Mira Costa Choirs have been graced with a dedicated, passionate, and supremely talented Choir Director, Mr. Michael Hayden. Mr. Hayden brought craft and inspiration into the choir room every day. His extraordinary abilities as a music educator led to him being named a California Teacher of the Year in 2014 and also helped lead the MBUSD music program to win a Grammy that same year.
But his lessons weren’t limited to music. Mr. Hayden has the ability to speak to a group in such a way that each member feels he is speaking directly to them. Engaging in “the four agreements” with his singers, he was able to generate impassioned performances, not just focusing on the notes on the page, but the spirit in each singer’s heart. This skill and spirit will accompany them for the rest of their lives.
This is Mr. Hayden’s final year of teaching, and as he embarks on a well-deserved retirement, we must shout to the world – thank you! The years under Mr. Hayden’s directorship have been a gift, and so is Mr. Hayden.
“Music, once admitted to the soul, becomes a sort of spirit, and never dies.” ― Edward Bulwer-Lytton
Additionally, the talents and character of Mr. Mark McCormick are invaluable to the Mira Costa Choir program. Serving as Co-Director and Pianist for Choirs for thirteen years, Mr. McCormick’s dedication to the program and the singers is matched only by the extraordinarily high level of regard the singers have for him.
A gifted musician whose wide musical interests inspire all his students, Mr. McCormick has provided the tremendous support, encouragement, and supplementary teaching necessary to help make Mira Costa Choirs the award-winning program it is today. But his dedication doesn’t’ stop there, as Mr. McCormick also teaches his own Music Theory classes and directs the Costa pit orchestra for all spring musicals. From teaching, to directing the pit orchestra, to co-directing and accompanying the choirs, the MCHS music program benefits greatly from the teacher and role model that is Mr. Mark McCormick. For his commitment, talent, and heart, we say thank you!
Every singer who stood on a riser has music in their heart. Thanks to Mr. Michael Hayden and Mr. Mark McCormick, it will always be there. We are forever grateful.

Mira Costa Drama/Tech would like to give our heartfelt thanks to Jonathan Westerberg and Cary Jordahl!
Thank you for your time, talents, and dedication to our Mira Costa Drama/Tech students this year. The students got to experience a robust curriculum and enjoy numerous opportunities to create and perform. Whether growing their craft in class, raising money for charity, pushing improv comfort zones with ComedySportz, learning the fundamentals with dance intensives, to winning awards for the fall production, this year was full of so many opportunities to learn, grow, perform, create, and celebrate and we have you to thank for that. We are so grateful to have spent this year with two teachers who give way more than 110% to the students and the program.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you Jonathan and Cary, and the rest of the hardworking support staff and production team for always, always putting the students first. We appreciate you all so much and can’t wait to be together again to create more amazing experiences for our very talented students.

The Model United Nations program would like to thank Mr. Knutson and Ms. Choi for an
amazing conference season this past year!
The Model United Nations program would like to thank Mr. Knutson and Ms. Choi for an amazing conference season this past year; for leading our team to 4 best large delegation awards (1st place overall) at Chicago, Harvard, New York and Berkeley. We could not have done it without your hard work, dedication and leadership to our students. Thank you for all you do!
There are so many reasons the MUN students love this program:
“Both Knutson and Choi are goofy and caring, they make being apart of Mira Costa MUN so enjoyable.”
“Mr. Knutson is one of the smartest people I have ever met. No matter your question, he has an answer. No matter the topic, he has a solution. He succeeded in keeping a strong element of tradition in MUN and challenged the program to always avoid complacency. I’m so glad to have had K as an advisor for the past three years and I know he will continue to better the program through witty remarks and jabs for years to come.”
“Ms. Choi has changed Model UN for the better. She definitely whipped us all into shape. After this year, I can’t picture anyone else as our advisor. She is one of the best teachers I have ever had. She developed an amazing curriculum for intro to MUN and brought some much needed discipline to advanced. I’m so glad to have spent my senior year on trips with her and I can’t wait to see what she does with the program in the future.”
“The students really enjoy working with Ms. Choi because she is very patient and she works really well with the freshman” “Model UN was the one of the most valuable classes we took over out high school career because it taught us how to command a room and network with others. It wouldn’t be possible without teachers like Ms. Choi, Mr. Knutson, and the retired Mr. Timberlake.”

Orchestra Boosters thank Mr. Park for all he does for
Costa musicians and their families!
The Orchestra Booster Board would like to thank Mr. Park for his constant support of our student musicians throughout our Orchestra season, from the amazing Winter Concert to the All District Orchestra Festival and Rotary competition, to the unprecedented extended distance learning since mid-March. Not every subject is easily adaptable to this online platform, especially a class such as Orchestra, and therefore our deepest gratitude goes to Mr. Peter Park for continuing to guide, motivate and enrich the lives of our student musicians through remote coaching and learning.
Rachel Clinton, Orchestra Student Leader President summed it up best: “We are so grateful to Mr. Park for his commitment to the Mira Costa Orchestra program and for all that he has done to cultivate our love for music. From the afternoon school rehearsals, to the trips, to the day-to-day class practice, Mr. Park has shown an unrelenting dedication to the program, which has allowed us to become the special group we are today.” So Mr. Park, thank you for all that you do for your musicians and their families.

Here’s a huge shout-out to Wrestling Coach Jimmy Chaney and the outstanding assistant coaches!
Here’s a huge shout-out to Coach Jimmy Chaney, for all he has done for the Costa Wrestling Teams over the years. It hasn’t been easy all the time, especially these past two seasons without a wrestling gym for the teams to work out in. Despite the hurdles, you successfully recruited and trained a small, but committed group of Frosh/Soph wrestlers; kept the girls team going strong, with 3 wrestlers advancing to CIF; and ended our Varsity boys’ season with all 11 wrestlers qualifying and competing at CIF! Fortunately for the team, 5 of the 13 CIF Qualifers will be back next season to compete again!
This season is one both wrestlers and parents won’t forget. It is hard to think about your “retirement” after the 2020-21 season, but we are certain that you will leave the Costa wrestlers in good hands with a TBD Coach.
We’d also like to show our appreciation for our assistant coaches, who work for the love of the sport: Chris Gordon, Keith Beck, Kenny Johnson and Marc Krigsman.
As they say, “It takes a village”; and you never let us down!

Pacific Elementary 4th grade Odyssey of the Mind
competes in Virtual World Finals!
Pacific’s fourth-grade Odyssey of the Mind team recently competed in the Virtual World Finals for Odyssey of the Mind along with over 800 other teams from around the world. On Saturday, May 30, Odyssey of the Mind held its World Finals Ceremony virtually, and Pacific’s team placed 10th out of the 129 teams in their division, and, spectacularly, placed 3rd overall in the spontaneous portion of the tournament! The team members are Reagan Ertman, Cary Geida, Cameron Geida, Natalie Held, Brady Lange, Rehaan Mehrotra and Jack Schneider, and the team is coached by Pacific 2nd-grade teacher, Michelle Lautanen.
Teams were scored on their performance in a spontaneous problem and a long-term problem. For the spontaneous problem, the Pacific team safely social distanced in a back yard to provide creative answers to one question in a 25 minute time period, which they then submitted online. For the long-term problem, the team submitted a video of their long-term skit, which they had prepared all year, along with supplemental videos of themselves filmed individually and remotely talking to the Judges about their performances and creations used in the skit.
Congratulations to Pacific’s 4th-grade team!
