PRINCIPAL�S MESSAGE

Happy 2015 to all of the Tiger Alumni! The spring semester is underway and we are looking forwardto the start of our bonds projects on campus. With the start of the band room anticipated to takeplace this summer, we can now focus on getting our final touches on the stadium redesign project.The School Board will review the plans and timelines with anticipated approval of the design tooccur next fall. It would be exciting to be on campus while two major construction projects are beingcompleted at the same time.I am aware that the Alumni Association is interested in improving the appearance of the campusso I am happy to announce that we are working on a project with the County Water Board on aDROPS program initiative. This grant will address four areas on campus that have high waterretention and create bioswales to alleviate the standing water and run off. We are excited to haveour Eco Action Class partner with DROPS to improve the campus plant.I also would like to announce that we have released our honor roll and 491 students have accumulateda 3.5 GPA or higher with special commendations to the 231 students who have a 4.0 or better.It is great to be a Tiger academically and athletically.Go Tigers!~Chris Heller, Principal

CHANGES COMING TO ANALY

Plans for new Analy Band Room submitted to SacramentoThe design plans for the new Analy Band Room have now been submittedfor approval by the Division of State Architect (DSA) in Sacramento. DSAmust approve the plans before construction can begin. If approval fromSacramento goes smoothly, we�ll demolish the old classroom building onthe lawn between the auditorium and High School Road this summer andbreak ground for the new building this summer, so that all the Analy bandswill have a new home in fall 2016!

Karlson Field Project Is Moving ForwardThe WSCUHSD School Board is scheduled to have a final review of theplans for new home bleachers, press box, lights, track, and synthetic turf onKarlson Field at the School Board meeting on Wed., Feb. 18 at 7:00 at theEl Molino library. The plans will then be submitted to the state architect officein Sacramento for their approval.The School Board is faced with a difficult decision regarding when to buildthis project. If we break ground right after the July 3 community fireworkson July 3, the project may be less expensive and should be completed byDecember 2015. But this will mean having to hold fall sports off campus.If we break ground in spring 2016, the cost may increase and the field maynot be ready by graduation for the Class of 2016.Whichever timeline is decided, Karlson Field should have a whole new lookfor fall 2017!

Analy Bands Perform for Local Middle SchoolsThe Analy Honor Band, Jazz Band and Full Orchestra will take a full schoolday on Monday, February 23 to visit and perform at Twin Hills, Brook Havenand Hillcrest Middle Schools to promote the AHS instrumental music program.ÊThis is an exciting visit for the middle school students, and for the Analystudents returning to their former haunts. It takes two large buses and a bigtruck to move the bands from school to school on this tour. The Analy musicprogram is recognized for excellence across Northern California!

Students Report on Analy Solar Power ProductionStudents from the Analy Advanced Placement Environmental Science classrecently presented a report to the WSCUHSD School Board on the amountof power produced by the Analy solar power project. The students comparedthe predicted electricity production with the actual amount of energy produced,and found that the project actually yielded more electricity than expected,based on the production ratings of the solar panels and recent weatherpatterns. Analy students will continue to monitor and report on the solarpower production, in order to encourage energy efficiency and environmentalresponsibility.~Keller McDonald, Superintendent

FROM ANALY SKITS TO HOLLYWOOD SHOWS

My name is Matt Nix, and I�m a TV Showrunner. In case you�ve never heard the term, itbasically means head writer/producer/director on a TV show. I�m best known for a showcalled �Burn Notice�, which ran for seven years on the USA Network, and for a show �TheGood Guys� which ran for 20 episodes on Fox. I currently work on two shows, one called�Complications�, which will be out this summer on USA, and another called �The Comedians�,which will be out in Spring on FX.

It would take a while to describe exactly what I do, but here are the basics: I hire the teamthat writes the show, and then either write, rewrite, or supervise each episode. I�m the headcreative producer, so I choose actors, hire directors, edit the show, and deal with budgetand personnel issues. And I also either direct episodes myself or work with directors onhow we want the show to look and feel.

It�s a ton of work, but it�s really fun. As part of my job, I get to do all kinds of things. Forresearch, I�ve hung out with all sorts of interesting people � from detectives to soliders to doctors to CIA officers. I�ve been able to workwith a lot of my favorite actors. And I get to play with really big toys onscreen, doing car chases, throwing people off buildings, and ofcourse blowing up pretty much everything you can think of with high explosives.

Looking back, my experience at Analy was a HUGE part of what I get to do today �although in a completely unexpected way. I was a pretty serious student, and I alwaysthought I�d be a doctor, a lawyer, something like that. But while I was in school, Ialways kept one hand in what I really loved to do. I acted in plays with Ms. Glazerand Mr. Craven. I took ROP Video with Mr. Davis. I wrote for the newspaper withMr. Rose and geeked out on science with Mr. Goldberg. And more than anything, Ihung out with a bunch of friends who liked to make stuff together � movies, rallyskits, etc. I thought these were all just hobbies. I was wrong.

I went off to UCLA, thinking I�d go to law school� but when it was time to apply,I couldn�t. When I thought about what I wanted to do, my dream was pretty lame:

�I wanna go back to High School and messaround making stuff with my friends.� Sincethat wasn�t an option, I did the next best thing:returned to LA to work in the entertainment industry.

It was a long road. I worked for agents and executives. I taught myself to write screenplays.Slowly but surely, I built a career. Writing little movie scripts for studios turned into writing biggerones. Eventually I got a shot in TV, and pitched and sold a show that turned into Burn Notice.From there, I�ve been able to sell and run other shows.

And over the years, it�s been great how many opportunities I�ve had to return to my roots. Myfirst writing and directing partner was my best friend from Analy. I�ve hired friends I met in highschool as actors. A friend from Analy is on my digital effects crew. This year, I hired a recentAnaly grad in the camera department of my new show. I�ve even written the school into scripts� the character of Sam Axe on Burn Notice was a Tiger and talks about it in a couple of episodes.

I�m deeply grateful to Analy High for being a place where I could discover what I loved to do �even if I didn�t know that at the time. So for all of you who ever dreamed of spending your life engrossed in your hobbies and messingaround with your high school friends? go for it. It�s worked out pretty well for me.
