Last week, our Athletic Trainer, Chase Paulson, was recognized by the California Interscholastic Federation–Southern Section (CIF-SS) as a “Champion of Character.” This is one of the highest awards that can be given by CIF. A testament to Mr. Paulson’s excellence as a person and positive influence in our community. Congratulations Mr. Paulson for being a champion of character for our students!
