Principal's Message

Mustang Families,

This week brings a wonderful mix of events that highlight the talents and achievements of our students. A special focus is on our music events, including the 2025 San Juan Hills High School Band & Orchestra Festival on Tuesday, March 18, where our students will showcase their musical talents. Additionally, this Saturday, March 22, our students will participate in two exciting music events: the Southern California Percussion Alliance Championships and the 2025 WGASC Signature Show—both of which will be incredible displays of skill and artistry in percussion and color guard.

I also want to congratulate the students who participated in the CSWA Industry Certification test this past Saturday. Of the 22 students who took the test, 17 passed, a fantastic accomplishment that demonstrates their hard work and preparation for future success.

In addition to the music events, we have plenty of sports action this week, including the Boys Volleyball vs. San Clemente on Tuesday, March 18, at 6:00 PM. Don’t miss out on supporting our student-athletes in Swimming, Softball, Lacrosse, Volleyball, and Tennis. Also, be sure to check out the Mini International Food Fair on Wednesday and the Career Fair on Friday for valuable experiences and opportunities.

As we celebrate these achievements, let's continue to live the Mustang Way—being Responsible, Respectful, and Connected. We’re proud of all our students and the incredible work they continue to do.

Ms. Alicia Foulk

Principal

This year, we’re covering every city park and the surrounding neighborhoods of Lake Forest’s schools. It’s going to be a fantastic community effort, and we want you to be part of it!

How to Get Involved: Individuals or groups can sign up to volunteer at any of the cleanup locations. You can register here:
