Principal's Message

Pam Winter, Principal

 

Welcome to another year at Clovis High School as we celebrate “Courage, Honor, and Spirit.”  CHS has a great tradition of excellence and we are committed to continuous improvement.

 

I would first like to welcome new administrators and teachers.  Dr. Pa Vue moved from a CHS Learning Director to the CHS Deputy Principal and she was replaced by Nick Mele.  Nick was most recently the Guidance Instructional Specialist from Clovis Elementary.  Mr. Mele’s new secretary is Valerie Dugan, who transferred from the district office.  Jennifer Linares will be teaching US History and American Government.  Alison Johns will be teaching English and leading the English Learners program.  Kyle Kirkley did his student teaching in English at CHS a few years ago, and he is now returning to teach English at CHS.  In the science department, Demetra Vincent-Walker will be teaching Science 1 and Sherra Vongehr will be teaching Chemistry and Geology.  Angela Bauer will be teaching German and coaching the Academic Decathlon Team.  To prepare students with specific career skills, Cynthia Huerta will be teaching the two period class Careers with Children.  Jay Eichmann, who also did his student teaching at CHS, will be teaching a two period class on Security Technology, a two period class on Building Trades and one period of Introduction to Construction.

Academically, CHS continues to make strides.  Our STAR results have been mailed home to students and the school’s overall information is being analyzed.  Early data indicated strong improvements in almost every subject.  CHS’s estimated API, 2010 state ranking, is 818.  This is tremendous growth from the 2010 base of 800.  I am very proud of all of the hard work that the students and staff have done to surpass our goal of 810.  Final data will be available soon from the state of California.  As further figures are available, CHS will identify its strengths and weaknesses and implement improvement plans. 

CHS also continues to excel in Advanced Placement (AP) testing.  More students are challenging themselves, taking the AP exam and receiving college credits for their efforts.  Taking the AP exams prepare students for college level work, can save college expenses and can qualify students as Advanced Studies Scholar of Distinction, who are individually recognized at graduation.  Congratulations to all students who took the AP exams and their teachers.

Additionally, I am anticipating an outstanding season from our performing arts departments.  CHS students will perform an Agatha Christie mystery at the MET at Clark Intermediate School in October along with the musical “Sugar” at the Clovis North Black Box Theatre in March.  Choir will perform numerous times throughout this year; please check the weekly calendar for specifics.  Our marching band is perfecting their field show, Echoes Reflected, and will perform at Friday night football games, as well as at numerous band competitions throughout the fall.

The Career Technical Education program is expanding to include two Introduction to Construction classes, one Foundation of Construction class and the new two-period class, Building Trades.  The woodshop room has been remodeled and the new Computer Assisted Drafting room is now fully operational.  The metal/welding lab has also been remodeled and is being refitted with new welding equipment.  A new Systems Lab has been completed and students will be learning plumbing, electrical, heating and air conditioning, and much more.  Watch for the date of the CHS Construction program Open House.

The fall sports program is going strong.  Coaches and athletes have been working very hard to prepare for the upcoming season.  Come support all of your CHS athletes.  The first home football game is Friday, September 3 and be sure to mark your calendar for CHS’s Homecoming football game on Friday, October 1. 

It is exciting times at CHS and I look forward to a great 2010-2011.

 

Deputy Principal's Message

Dr. Pa Vue, Deputy Principal

 

Welcome back to another great year!  I am proud of the exciting facility changes we have made and am looking forward to upcoming interesting events.  This summer, Clovis High installed a new roof on the North Wing of the campus.   Additionally, the South Gym floor has been remodeled.  Whether you are a student, parent, staff or community member, I hope you will check out the latest renovations the next time you are on campus!

Our annual Club Fair is right around the corner.  On September 7th and 8th, we will be holding the Club Fair sign-ups during lunch.  We have over 30 clubs ranging from the Fly Fishing Club to the Latin Dance Club.  Members of each club work together throughout the year in many capacities to get our students actively involved.  A major club activity involves the building of Homecoming floats for our Homecoming Football game on October 1, 2010.  Clubs are a key part of our school culture, so do not miss out!

Thank you to all of the parents, students, staff, and community members of Clovis High for emphasizing the importance of a positive learning environment in which students strive to achieve academically and work toward productive citizenship.  I look forward to working together with everyone to continue providing the best education for our students!  Please contact me at pavue@cusd.com if you have any questions or comments.

 

Stanford News

Nick Mele, Learning Director

 

 

Stanford College welcomes our students, parents, and staff back to school!  We are eager to start the year off and continue our tradition of providing an excellent education for our students.  Our two departments, English and Social Science, are continuously working on preserving great teaching practices while stimulating progress.  Each department will be goal setting and working closely with students to increase student achievement.

English

Clovis High School English teachers are making personal connections to their new students and trying to ensure every student’s success. 

English, grades 9-12, are in the process of administering a performance expectation writing benchmark.  These assessments are graded by the respective teams, and a list of strengths and weaknesses are created.  Additionally, a plan of action is created to focus on ways to improve the writing of all students.  There will be one additional writing benchmark administered to all grade levels in the spring.  The goal is for every student to show marked improvement.

Additionally, English 9 and English 10 are administering the Pre-Assessment Language Arts Formative Test (LAFT). This standards-based test targets the level of student mastery of the grade level standards.  Four additional assessments will be given to check mastery and chart progress.

The PLC weekly meetings are continuing with all teams looking at last year’s STAR data and devising a plan for action for this year to reach the “800” club.

Social Science

The Social Science Department is excited to welcome their newest faculty member, Jennifer Linares.  Jennifer is an experienced teacher that comes to us from Pinedale Elementary School.  She will be teaching U.S. History and Government this year to our juniors and seniors.  We would also like to welcome our new Learning Director, Nick Mele, to Clovis High School.  Nick comes to us from Clovis Elementary School and is a former student at Clovis High School that is remembered fondly by his former teachers.

History Day is another source of excitement in the Social Sciences.  The county level competition will come in the early spring and will be followed by the state competition in May.  Past student competitors  are already beginning to work on their projects for the competition and teachers are busy recruiting new students to the competition.  All AP European History students will be required to complete a project for their classes and will have the option of competing if they so choose.  Please see Lindy Hash if you are interested in getting involved with this competition.

Finally, the Social Science Department is sad to announce that their former leader, Jim Lung, retired last spring.  Jim will be missed by all of us, but we wish him well in his retirement.  We would also like to congratulate our former Learning Director, Pa Vue, on her promotion to Deputy Principal at Clovis High School.  Pa will be missed as our Learning Director, but she will still be here for us in a different capacity.

New Faces

From the English Department, we are excited to have Mr. Kyle Kirkley and Ms. Alison Johns joining our team.  From Social Science, our newest Cougar is Mrs. Jennifer Linares.

kyle.JPG

Kyle Kirkley is entering his fourth year of teaching English, having previously taught at Clovis West High School.  He earned a Bachelor’s degree in Communication Studies from Westmont College in 1999 before embarking on a corporate career in executive recruiting.  While working for Warner Bros. Studios in Burbank, Mr. Kirkley met a “Clovis Girl” named Elizabeth who is now his bride and the mother of his two children, Abigail (6) and Elijah (2).  Soon after marrying, Mr. and Mrs. Kirkley moved to Clovis, where Mr. Kirkley realized and pursued his dream of being an English teacher.  He is currently working on a Master of Fine Arts degree in Creative Writing and is toiling away on a novel (currently titled While Reading Gatsby).  Although he admits to being quite a nerd (he is, in fact, a member of MENSA), Mr. Kirkley knows how to have fun as well.  He enjoys traveling (he proudly counts 14 different nations stamped on his passport), backpacking, playing basketball, reading, and writing.

 

Alison Johns Photo.JPG

After ten years in an administrative position for Clovis Unified School District, Alison Johns has decided to return to her love of teaching with an emphasis on working with second language students.  Prior to coming to Clovis Unified School District, fourteen years ago, Alison taught English, Shelter English, journalism, and yearbook classes at Fowler High School.  Because of her passion and desire to learn more about working with second language students, she became a Trainer of Specially Designed Academic Instruction in English.  In her early years in Clovis Unified School District she trained the Clovis High School administration and staff in SDAIE strategies, and taught a district SDAIE course.  Alison went on to teach English courses at Reedley College to second language students; including Basic Reading Skills and College Level Reading Skills.  Alison’s ten years in administration have afforded her many opportunities to grow as a professional in education.  For several months Alison has spent much time evaluating where she would like to move next in her career.  Her conclusion has been to return to what she feels most passionate about and loves; which is the direct classroom instruction of second language students.  Alison is eager and excited about her new position at Clovis High School as the ELD teacher.

 

 

 

JenniferLinares.JPG

Joining the CHS staff for the 2010 – 2011 school year is Mrs. Jennifer Linares. Mrs. Linares first moved to the Fresno/Clovis area at the age of 3 years old. Mrs. Linares and her wonderful husband have been married for 14 loving years and have a boy and a girl. In her spare time, she enjoys reading, boating, water and snow skiing, and spending time with her children and their many sports activities. She graduated from Hoover High School and pursued a career in healthcare. While working as a healthcare professional, she obtained her teaching credential.  Her teaching career began with Clovis Unified at Pinedale Elementary School; where, she has taught both upper and primary grades. She is very excited about joining the team in the Social Science department, and is delighted to be working with such wonderful colleagues and helping educate the students of Clovis High.

MODERN LANGUAGES DEPARTMENT

¡Hola!, Bonjour!, Hallo!, and Hello!, Cougar Family!  The teachers of the Modern Languages Department are pleased about meeting our new students for this school year.  We are glad to see the familiar faces of returning students and brand new faces of students who are taking our new courses.  We are happy to say that all of our teachers are prepared to guide and challenge our students to reach their highest potential. 

The teachers of the Modern Languages Department have been working hard in order to make sure that all of our students receive high quality instruction in all of our courses.  As stated in our Mission Statement:

The goal of our department is to develop proficiency in listening, speaking, reading, and writing to prepare our students for all language endeavors and increase their knowledge and appreciation of diverse cultures, while acquiring the skills to promote life-long learning.  Furthermore, we are committed to upholding department standards, policies, and procedures as specified within each course syllabus.” 

We are also proud to add our new German teacher Angela Bauer into our department.  Ms. Bauer has expressed her excitement to be here at Clovis High by saying:  “I’m very happy to be here at Clovis High as your new German teacher. I’ve had a chance to meet many people here, but hope to see more new faces in my classes these next years.  I would like to encourage students to come and meet me and consider taking German, joining the German club, or participating in ACADEC.”

        Ms. Angela Bauer

Our department is also proud to offer extracurricular options for our students.  Ms. Cassidy Kilburn is the Peer Counseling teacher and advisor, Mrs. Fabienne Buckle advices the French club, Mr. Daniel Gutiérrez is the advisor for the Young Latino Men’s Forum, and Mrs. Thea Fabian-Hicks is the Folklórico teacher.  Ms. Bauer will be coaching ACADEC, (Academic Decathlon) and will be the German club advisor.  All students are encouraged to inquire about these great clubs and programs from our outstanding department.

¡Hasta pronto!, Au revoir!, Auf Wiedersehen!, and Good Bye! 

MATHEMATICS DEPARTMENT

Welcome back to another mathematical year at Clovis High School.  Here are some study tips from your friendly Mathematics Department.  1)  Read through the section before you come to class.  This will get you familiar with new terms and vocabulary so that you can better understand the lesson. 2) Take notes that will help you remember what was discussed that day in class.  Remember that sometimes the most important ideas to write down is what was said. 3)  Do your homework as soon as you can after the lesson.  The longer you wait the more you forget.  If you do your work early you are more likely to remember on the test. 4)  Make corrections.  If you do something wrong, fix it on your paper.  When you fix your errors on paper you will start to have a better understanding of how to do a problem correctly the next time.  5) Don’t practice bad habits.  If you do a problem wrong, do it again until you get it right. 6)  Know when your tests are. 

Never come to class unprepared for a test.  If you’ve never practiced problems without notes or help, you will probably have difficulty on the test.  Make sure the test is not the first time you do the problems on your own.  We hope these tips help and we look forward to another successful school year.


OUR NEWEST COUGAR STAFF ADDITIONS

Mr. John “Jay” Eichmann is our new Career Technology teacher located in the beautiful new Building Systems Lab classroom H-10.  Mr. Eichmann comes to us from Clovis East to teach our newly offered Video Security and Surveillance and Building Trades courses along with the Introduction to Construction Technology course.

As a re-entry teacher, Mr. Eichmann brings with him nearly 20 years of professional industry experience in contracting, business management, building trades, and electronic systems technology work. He is eager to share his experiences with the fantastic students of Clovis High.

Raised in the small agricultural town of Slinger, Wisconsin Mr. Eichmann admits that while he had a good time in high school, his lack of effort made it tuff to make the grade.  After joining the Navy at age 19 and serving in Desert Storm and the Somalia operations of the 1990s he finally developed the ability and motivation to take his education to a higher level.  Mr. Eichmann’s students quickly come to appreciate his reality based, practical teaching style and are surprised to realize how much they learn while having such a good time.

Mr. Eichmann has two children who currently attend Clovis Elementary and a wife who teaches at the collegiate level at several local colleges.  His interests include family life, RVing, outdoors and technology.  Stop by and say hi.

 

We would like to welcome Cynthia Huerta to Clovis High. Mrs. Huerta is teaching Child Development and Education –Careers with Children ROP class. Mrs. Huerta has been teaching for Clovis Unified since 1986. She enjoys spending time going to the beach, spending time with her family, reading, listening to music and traveling.  Mrs. Huerta is so excited to be here at Clovis High and teaching the wonderful students in her class.

 

My name is Demetra Vincent-Walker.  I was born in New Orleans, LA; but was raised in California, primarily in the Fresno/Clovis area, and graduated from San Joaquin Memorial High School.  I received a Bachelor of Science degree in Health Science, with an emphasis in Community Health/Pre-Medicine, from California State University, Fresno in May 1993.  In May of 2005, I received a Master’s Degree in Education with an emphasis in Curriculum and Instruction and a California Multiple Subject Teaching Credential; and, I recently completed an Education Administrative Credential in May 2010.

This is currently my 6th year working as a classroom teacher in Clovis Unified, but my 17th year in the field of education.  Over my tenure, I have had the opportunity of working with children from various socioeconomic and cultural backgrounds, kindergarten through college freshman.  I have been exposed extensively to various classroom settings through working as a Fresno State Recruitment Coordinator, Academic Counselor, and Program Director for three academic enrichment programs.  I also worked as a long-term substitute teacher for the Diocese of Fresno Catholic schools and Clovis Unified for 12 years collectively, coached elementary and high school volleyball and basketball, as well as served as a summer sports camp director, for numerous years.

              I am so excited about teaching Science I this year at Clovis High School!  As a Clovis Unified parent, I believe in the value system within our school district and will work very hard to make sure that No Child is Left Behind.  I currently have a 5th grader who attends Red Bank Elementary, an 8th grader at Clark and a junior at Clovis High School.  I have learned a lot about the community our school serves and couldn’t help but fall in love with the warm and welcoming atmosphere on our campus.  The fact that everyone adheres to and believes in the standards of excellence that a Clovis Unified School offers the students makes me proud to be part of such a system. 

 

 

We want to welcome Mrs. Sherra G. Vongehr R.N., B.A., M. A. as the newest addition to our Science department in the capacity as a Geology and Chemistry instructor.  Although she is new to the department, Mrs. Vongehr is no stranger to Clovis High School as both of her children have been Clovis High School Cougars.  She has most recently served as a 5th-6th grade teacher at Garfield Elementary School.  Mrs. Vongehr is a graduate of Lee University, TN, Fresno City College, and California State University, Fresno.  During her play time, Mrs. Vongehr enjoys working out at GB3, rock hounding, quilting, reading/learning, and hanging out with her family.  Mrs. Vongehr is excited to continue her teaching career at Clovis High School and shares, “it’s exciting to be able to jump into the pool of science” with the Clovis High Cougars!

SHARES Card Update

Please remember to swipe your SHARES Card each you shop at SaveMart or FoodMaxx.  Clovis High receives a 3% donation from your purchases when you swipe your card at the register.  Last quarter, Clovis High received a check from SaveMart/FoodMaxx for over $3,400.00.  Please come by the main office and pick-up SHARES Cards for your friends, relatives and neighbors.  This fund raiser costs you nothing but results in much needed donations for our school.  Clovis High is now 13th out of hundreds of California schools in regards to revenue from this program.  Thanks for your support.



THE COUGAR COUNTRY BARBECUE IS HAPPENING OCTOBER 2ND!!!

 

Once every year, parents have the opportunity to participate in the most important fund raising event at Clovis High.  The Cougar Country Barbecue is the primary activity for raising money for our student clubs, sport teams and overall student needs. 

The Cougar Country Barbecue will be held at the Clovis Rodeo Grounds on OCTOBER 2ND. Gates open at 5:00 pm and dinner is served from 5:30 to 7:30 pm.  The evening includes dinner hosted by Cool Hand Luke’s, silent and live auctions, a new Cougar Casino and the evening ends with a dance.  We will have a big screen television set-up for those who would like to catch the Fresno State football game. 

We are hoping that all Clovis High parents will be involved in some way.  First of all, we would like you to attend and bring some friends.  Tickets are $30.00 each.  Many Clovis High Alumni are using the BBQ as a mini-reunion.  Second, every parent has some kind of connection that would help with our live and silent auction items. This is a great way to promote your services and/or business.  However, the primary benefit is the support for our students and the Clovis High programs that are so beneficial to your children.

Thank you so much for being a part of the Clovis High support team.  We look forward to talking with you soon and seeing you at the Cougar Country Barbecue.

Many Clovis High students set up their Family Connection account during the 2009-10 school year. If your student has previously set up an account, they will NOT need to re-register. However, if your student does not yet have an account, they will receive their registration code in the fall. If you do not want your student to have an account, contact Stephanie Frazier at ‘stephaniefrazier@cusd.com’

  Freshman Class News - The Class of 2014  
 

Especially for Freshmen Parents ...

Please consider volunteering for Clovis High. No matter what age your child is, there are many opportunities to help at school, whether it’s working on campus, helping with donations, baking for a bake sale, working a snack bar or float construction. Parents who spend their days at work or tending younger children can help by being in attendance at evening events to support your student.

In the early grades, many parents volunteer at school, but as your children grow older, they may even tell you they don’t want to be seen in public with you! But they definitely get the message that school is important when they see you helping with school projects.

If you are interested in receiving emails regarding upcoming freshman events, please email laurieadair@cusd.com and we will add you to our email list. Thank you!
