Welcome to the Venice High School Alumni Homepage!........We hope you enjoy your visit!

 

Welcome...

Welcome!

The construction company is continuing to make its mark on Venice High School with the removal of the bungalows along the football field and the east gym. Since the new plan includes a large science building where the faculty parking lot now stands, two large trees must be removed from the garden. I was invited to attend a spiritual Shinto tree blessing ceremony where the tree’s spirits were blessed.

Thank you to the children of Elizabeth Hoage for the recent $10,000 donation from their mom’s estate. Did you notice the two pages of thank you notes in the Fall Acclaim from the seniors who received our scholarships? I was very impressed and proud of them.

One recent October weekend had an onslaught of activities for us. They were the Homecoming celebrations, the annual Hall of Fame recognition, and the showing of the movie Grease. You can read about them in this issue of the Acclaim.

We also held a fundraiser yard sale that was a big success. Thank you to everyone who stepped up to donate items for it.

I have been in discussion with the Boys and Girls Club of Venice to work together on a project to paint some murals on the interior walls of the school.

Coming up we look forward to the presentation of the Jackets of Excellence to those seniors who have exceptionally high-grade point averages. We also have our Career Day on the calendar. If you would like to come back to Venice High School on Career Day and talk to the students about your job please let me know. We are always in need of prizes for Bingo Night, which is scheduled for March 9, 2019. If you have a nice gift item that you would like to donate please contact us.
