MESSAGE FROM THE PRINCIPAL

It has been a great start to our 2011-12 School year! We just

finished the first semester with great success and an incredible amount of positive energy on behalf of students and faculty!

Just a few bragging bullet points:

Double digit increase again for our API scores!! We have increased by 260 points and are ranked in the 99 percentile for the State of California for our increased scores!

11 out of 14 of our courses tested by California Standards Tests have increased between 15 - 46 API points for students scoring proficient or advanced; our Algebra 2, and Physics students scored the highest in the district!

Average Daily Attendance is up! (ADA is essential to school

funding)

We have the highest percentage of students enrolled in

AP/honors courses in the district!

Senior completion of A-G 4-year college entrance requirements is up!

100% of all seniors last year passed the California High School Exit Exam!

And our 1st time CAHSEE test takers (10

th graders) passing

rate was 89%, higher than the district, county, or state average!

Our Alumni association continues to be instrumental in helping us improve each year! We appreciate their support and assistance in

collaborating with the graduating classes of 2010 & 2011 that raised

close to $7,000 to repaint the class of '91 Cardinal on the west side

of our Auditorium! It is so awesome!

WHS Alumni Association has also supported by providing:

12 WHS senior scholarships = $13,000

$7,000 - financial aid to help students cover the cost of AP tests • $500 - support for the CAPP (Cardinal Advanced Placement Program) for 6

th - 12

th grade student enrichment

activities.

$5,000 - to the Cardinal Brigade for new instruments for the Jazz Band

$1,000 - for our Spring musical costumes

$500 for our Mock Trial competition fees (FYI - our court room artist won 1

st place at the state level competition!!)

And many other projects for which our Alumni board so graciously supports whenever there is a need! Thank you to all alum for your generous contributions!!! "Once a Cardinal, always a Cardinal”

With great Cardinal Pride,

AUDITORIUM MASCOT MURAL REFURBISHMENT COMPLETE

The Cardinal Legacy that is most visible for drivers, runners, walkers,

and flyers has been refreshed. The Class of 2010, under the leadership

of the Class President, Melanie Peel, joining forces with the Class of

2011, and the 20th Reunion Committee for the Class of 1991 (the

original donors) to refurbish the mascot painting. We are not sure if

anyone realized just how much our "Cardinal" color had faded in 20

years. Thanks to technology and innovation, both the sun and seagulls

will have less impact on our proud bird. You still have a chance to

participate in the funding of this project, and you can step up with full

knowledge that it will get done, because it is.

“…and always, always love you, Whittier High.”

CARDINAL LEGACY ALIVE AND WELL Nationally Acclaimed Superintendent, Principal, and Student to attend Hall of Fame and Scholarship Event on April 22, 2012 at the Whittier Radisson

Whittier Union High School

continues to sustain its place of honor

on the list of all-time great high

schools in this country. The

accomplishments of the last decade,

much like the accomplishments of

each of the previous eleven decades,

are what keep the legacy alive.

Longevity of honor and consistency

of character are the keys; and that is

not always in unison with reputation.

In the wisdom filled words of Coach

John Wooden, "Don't worry about

your reputation, focus on your

character. Reputation is what other

people think about you, character is

who you are." At times over the last

25 years, some of the most

boisterous doubters and outspoken

naysayers were actually alumni. The

reports often included seemingly

remarkable recall of their high school

years. The numbers of people who

claimed to be able to provide

specifics of the depth of faculty, the

details of state funding, and precise

behaviors of student body, during

their own ages of 13 through 19, and

all of this 20, 30, and 40 years in the

past, well, it was just too amazing.

Clearly, "the older they got, the better

they were." Then the tendency to

compare these memories with

anecdotal stories of the current

situation resulted in family traditions

of WHS graduations being broken.

All the while WHS prepared

hundreds and thousands of students

for college, jobs, and life. The legacy

was sustained, and the rumors of the

WHS demise were "greatly

exaggerated.”

So now, we look at today, the

realities of Whittier High School and

the documented success of the

students, teachers, and

administration. Starting in 2008, and

continuing to the current year of the

award, WHS was named by

Newsweek as being in the top 1,500

high schools in the country. In 2010,

500 students graduated from WHS,

and their statewide scores ranked

them in the top category for the entire

state. This is the class that

championed the fund raising and

planning for repainting the Cardinal

mascot in the auditorium.

In 2011, WHS received the GOLDEN

BELL AWARD from the CSBA for the

exemplary success and innovative

schedule that has changed the length

of classes on a daily basis, and

provided focused time for those who

are excelling as those who need

additional assistance. This design

was implemented by our first

Principal Alumnus, Lori Peel Eshilian,

'72. The schedule design is now

being implemented at cutting edge

high schools throughout the state

and across the country.

Our District Superintendent, Sandy

Sanchez Thorstenson '73, was

recently asked to speak with the

Board of Directors of WestEd, a non-

profit, multi-state agency dedicated to

promoting excellence and equity in

education through research and

development. Whittier Union was one

of eight school districts in the state

selected to present because of its

long term high performance, and was

the only High School District asked to

present.

For decades, the Boards of

Education across America were

inundated with statistics about the

success of high school students from

other countries. You may notice that

those news flashes have ceased.

Research found that the those

students did not necessarily

outperform students who were

allowed to have a balanced life in

high school and the pressure to

perform in high school did not carry

over to success in college.

WHS honors the students with the

highest GPAs each year at a special

event. The event was titled

CARDINAL 75 more than a decade

ago when the ceremony was limited

to the top 75 students in the school.

Last year the "CARDINAL 75" event

honored 163 students. To be included

in the recognition as a freshman, the

student must have all A's. This year

one of the students being honored at

CARDINAL 75 is also a finalist for the

National Merit Scholarships. The

students included in this very

selective group do not include any

other students from our District.

Well, how about that? It appears the

old alma mater is doing fairly well. We

have produced a national acclaimed

Superintendent, Principal, and

Student. Two of our city council

members are also alumni, along with

nearly 70 members of our Hall of

Fame_ Please come to our event on

April 22 at the Whittier Radisson. You

will find out who has done great things

in the past, who is doing great things

now, and who will most likely be doing

great things in the future.

MORE FROM THE PRINCIPAL Cardinal Pride is evident throughout our school,

among students and staff!

Our facilities and grounds continue to improve. Our

new cafeteria I multipurpose room, finished a year

ago, will undergo decorative upgrades this summer

to make it look like a 50's Diner! We already have a

really cool juke-box! Come see it!

The south-side campus has under-gone a much

needed face lift. We have a new practice field at the

farthest south end, new pavers with intertwining walk

ways, and beautiful planters throughout that create a

park like setting. It is beautiful!

A beautification project has also been completed

along Whittier Ave., including up-grades to the

Horseshoe and front of the Auditorium with new

pavers, new planters, and student seating areas!

These projects serve· to increase our positive image

in our local community!

VIC LOPEZ AUDITORIUM AND ORGAN UPDATE New beautiful seats, fantastic Wurlitzer organ in the works, and now the District has announced that the Vic Lopez Auditorium is scheduled to get air conditioning!

The bad news is that it will delay the organ's installation, probably another year. However, teaming our job with the installation of air conditioning will save money and that's a big plus for all concerned.

Our fund-raising is going well, but we are continuing to seek money for our project. It is our project, not the District's - and the organ's installation depends on us! So please consider giving and help bring this wonderful instrument to this equally wonderful building. It will not only benefit students, but music lovers all over southern California. Thanks for your support.
