  • Artist of the Day: Kay Napoli Durantes

    Artist of the Day: Kay Napoli Durantes has designed an Afro-Futurist mask to be constructed in clay, that celebrates concepts from African culture and symbols of future hope. The beautiful crown is also a halo and is orbited by the planets as if the spirit of the mask symbolizes the sun. The eyes of the mask are closed, symbolizing ‘the unknown’ and peace with it. Kay takes inspiration from Black Panther and has given the mask a feminine panther’s features. The Adinkra symbol on the panther’s cheeks is symbolic of “greatness and leadership” Come see this mask once it is complete in the Black History Month Annual Jubilee in February!

  • Tennis Club becomes the newest Thursday to do!

    Lunch time has something for everyone. Thursday we had our Battlebots, we had our Rubik's Cube, and our musicians getting ready for their holiday show. And for the very first time, tennis for both boys and girls. We know that it is not the season, but we now have the league champs in tennis to go with a beautiful new court, so every Thursday at lunchtime (weather permitting) we will have the boys and girls interested come to the "bluetop" and get into the swing of things.

  • Teacher of the Month, Coach of the Year

    Coach Troy McConico came back to his alma mater to give back. We think that is a debt paid in full! Mr. McConico was feted for his ability to relate his subject to student lives and to help students feel welcome and supported. He also got some love for teaching the football players to believe in themselves and after an 0-2 start, it's unlikely that anyone outside of the PV locker room forsaw the first ever State Championship. But that is what makes Mr. McConico special. He builds and creates believers! This month (and year) belong to you! So good to have you back!

  • Artist of the Day: Elizabeth Duarte

    Elizabeth Duarte is always trying something just outside of her comfort zone. This is part of what makes her an inquirer - one of our IB learner Profiles. Lizzy does not decide that she can’t do something before she tries, nor even when she fails. She tries again and again and the learning she gains through the process is greater as a result of being willing to take risks and fail. Risk-taker - that is another IB Profile. When Lizzy embarked on making this top heavy sculpture, she knew that it would be a challenge to ask the clay to do something that it was not inclined to do. But she persisted and problem solved and this is the result. Come see Lizzy’s collection of work for her IB Exhibition in the Performing Arts Building on March 17th!

    That's Randy Snook '23 and Elizabeth Duarte '23 holding finalist trophies after their first performance as Spartan impromptu speakers at the weekend speech tournament at San Francisco Lowell High School. In the competition, the speakers have less than two minutes to craft a five minute speech on an abstract word, or a quote or any other number of options. The Spartan pair move onto the Varsity division for the next competition. We are proud of the forensics team and look forward to the next step on the journey.
