Congratulations to our Men and Women’s Cross Country Team this season. All levels competed in the Pioneer Cross Country League Finals last Wednesday. Some highlight performances were Nathanael Lincourt who led our varsity with a time of 17:20 and Alani Flores with a time of 20:13, which was her Personal Record. Nathanael is also now the school record holder in the 3 mile! While our teams will not move onto CIF, we wanted to recognize the JV Girls with a 1st Place finish and our JV Boys with 2nd place at Bell-Jeff Invitational earlier this season! Congratulations Team on your efforts this season in the Pioneer League.
Congratulations to our Women’s Volleyball Team debuting in the Pioneer League this fall season! We are proud that two of the Varsity girls earned a spot on the competitive Pioneer League 2nd Team and one of our athletes won a spot on the Pioneer League 1st Team. Our Division 7 team held their own against some tough D2 & D3 teams. We are hoping to learn from this year’s high level of play and earn a spot in playoffs next season. We ended our season with a close fight against El Segundo (20-25, 20-25, 25-23, 32-34).
Thank you all for supporting all of our athletes by attending and cheering at the games. Thank you for your participation and support in our Athletic Team fundraisers and donations!

S.A.G.E would like to officially announce our community altar for Dia De los Muertos. For those who aren’t familiar with the cultural celebration, it is a time to honor loved ones who passed away, honoring them from November 1st to the 2nd. This celebration combines the ancient Aztec custom of celebrating ancestors with All Souls’ Day. We do this by placing a photo of our loved one along with any tangible item they held closest to them. You can drop off your photo and item at the front desk by NOVEMBER 1st (please put your name and cohort on a sticky note with the items). Please bring a frame for your photo if you decide to participate. The altar is located on the DVX site. We hope everyone is able to participate and hold space for remembrance during this time.
– S.A.G.E Crew 🌈🌼
