Brent Forsee, Principal
Hello PTSA Friends,
Principal’s Message
What an amazing
group of people you
are. The parent support here at Arcadia
High is one of the
many highlights that
makes being a piece
of this educational
community second to
none. Whether it is an
event that needs hosting, a kind word or deed, or friendship, you
all are always there to provide for our kids,
our staff and our school.
We are almost done with construction
at Arcadia High! Yes, that is correct. After
eight long and rewarding years, our AHS
campus is scheduled to have all construction
projects completed this summer. Through
the support of our parents and the Arcadia
community, every classroom space has been
upgraded, numerous new buildings have been
erected, and numerous athletic and performing arts spaces have been renovated. We
look forward to a campus with no green fences in the fall.
Reminder, Thursday, April 16, is our
annual Arcadia High Spring Preview and
Showcase. Many of you are involved in extra curricular programs that play a major roll
in showing our middle school students just
how special the Arcadia High experience
is. Make sure your booster/support group
plans on attending and engaging with our
current middle school students and their parents.
Go Apaches!

PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
Vicky Stiles, PTSA President
Did you know that February 17 is the Parent Teacher Association’s birthday? PTA will be 118
years old!
The National PTA is the oldest and largest volunteer
association working exclusively on behalf of all children
and youth. For more than 100 years, the National PTA has
promoted the education, health, and safety of children,
youth, and families. PTA's founders Phoebe Apperson
Hearst and Alice McLellan Birney, and the founder of
Georgia's Congress of Colored Parents and Teachers,
Selena Sloan Butler, were women of imagination and
courage. They understood the power of individual action,
worked beyond the accepted barriers of their day, and took
action to literally change the world.
They had a simple idea—to improve the lives and futures of all of our children. As
much as other conditions in America may have changed, that idea has not. PTAs keep it
alive. Our members represent the ethnic diversity of our nation, and they come from the
ranks of traditional families, single-parent households, blended families, grandparents,
and other caring adults. Together, we continue to advocate for children and youth.
(www.pta.org)
Nationally, PTA has set a federal public policy agenda that focuses on Education, Child Health
and Nutrition, and Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention. In California the focus has largely
been on education funding. The PTAs of the Arcadia schools have been an active advocate for our
children. particularly when it comes to funding, as we played integral roles in the passage of
Measure I and Measure A. We have also been involved in the drafting of last years Local Control
Accountability Plan (LCAP).
Last year, the Arcadia Council PTA provided scholarships to two high school students to attend the
annual California State PTA Legislation Conference with the Arcadia delegation. Students learned
first hand about the legislative process and spoke to elected officials about their experiences at
Arcadia schools. It is impossible to measure the impact these students, parents, teachers and
principals who were part of the delegation made on our State Senator and Assembly member. I
look forward to hearing from this year’s delegation, including two members of the Class of 2016,
upon their return from the conference. I invite you to join our monthly meetings to learn about our
advocacy efforts as well as about school activities.
PTA provides volunteers and raises funds to support school programs but was actually founded to
advocate for children. It makes me proud to know that in Arcadia we are continuing that tradition.

THE COUNSELOR’S CORNER
2015-2016 COURSE SELECTION AND INFORMATION
Believe it or not, it’s almost time for students to begin thinking about next year’s classes!
Starting the week of February 16th, Counselors will conduct Orientation and Programming sessions
with all freshmen, sophomore and junior students and parents.
The process involves the following steps:
1) Course Selection Assembly – students receive:
 Curriculum Guide
 Course Selection Draft Sheet
 Grade level information sheet
2) Students and Parents research and review classes:
 Read class descriptions in the Curriculum Guide
 Talk to parents, teachers and students about classes in which they are interested.
 Choose carefully – there are very strict policies regarding dropping and changing classes
3) Students meet with Counselors to select classes:
 Students come to Career Center with their English class.
 Students receive their transcript.
 Students bring completed Draft Course Selection Sheet to meeting.
 Counselors meet individually with all students to review their transcript, graduation status, future educational plans and options and summer school recommendations. Together they will fill
out the final Course Selection Sheet and complete a thorough review of their high school progress.
4) Students take Final Course Selection Sheet home for parent signature.
5) Students return the signed Final Course Selection Sheet to the Counselor of the Day desk by due
date indicated on the Course Selection Sheet. Students need to make their own personal copy before
returning the sheet.
6) Any adjustments to these selections can only be made during PAW week (Program Adjustment
Week), May 26 – May 29.

CTE/ROP News
Career Technical Education/Regional Occupational Program
Outstanding Students:
CTE/ROP is committed to honoring our exemplary students from Arcadia High school. The following
students were nominated by their teachers for character, attitude, attendance, leadership and community involvement. We are proud to acknowledge the following students; Valerie Gasparini and Nicole
Vizcarra for Advanced Video Pr oduction, Madison Ross for Cr iminal Law, Andrew Ortegaray
and Audrey Wong for Engineering Design & Development and Samantha Grasso for Stagecraft. These
students will advance to the Los Angeles County CTE/ROP Outstanding Student Recognition Program
on March 10th, 2015, where they will compete for medals and monetary stipends.
During the month of March the counseling staff will begin scheduling students for fall 2015-2016
classes. CTE/ROP classes do fill quickly and space is limited, so if you are choosing an CTE/ ROP
class be sure to include it in your selection of classes.
Something to consider in finding your career:
Get a job or do some volunteer work in your community. A part-time job can teach you many valuable skills you will later need in a career. It can teach you to be dependable and improve your ability to
get along with others. Having a job requires you to plan your free time between study and fun and
teaches you how to budget your money. The Career Center has a volunteer book that consists of nonpaid opportunities for students in many private and public agencies throughout the San Gabriel Valley.
We also have a job book, which is updated with posted employment opportunities from the local community business professionals. If you are a business that would like to hire Arcadia High students
please give us a call at 626) 821-8370 X 1104 and we would be glad to post your job request.
Work Permit Reminder:
If are a student under 18 years who is currently working, the law requires that he/she have a work permit. Work permit applications can be obtained in the Career Center and are FREE.

AHS Orchestras. We are also excited to present the outstanding guest artists, “Jason
Arimoto”, originally from Hawaii, Jason is blues ukulele player and is a two-time winner of
the Ukulele Underground Award for best vocal performance of the year (http://

all 330 orchestra performers completely surrounding the guests. It should prove to be
an exciting evening for everyone.
The funds generated from this prestigious event provide many orchestra necessities
(coaching, musical instruments, materials and supplies for the new orchestra room) that
may not otherwise be available to us. This is a great opportunity for you to be a “Friend

We are ONE Apache Family!
AHS Chinese Parents Booster Club (AHSCPBC) is proudly part of the AHS Apache family.
While many of us were busy celebrating the holidays, six AHSCPBC families hosted eighteen students
of the Helsingor Pigegrade Marching Band from Denmark. Together with ten other families, they provided the Denmark students with temporary homes with delectable meals, transportation, needed items,
and fun gatherings with AHS students and their families.
The flu season is here. To show care for its family members, AHSCPBC donated 200 Kleenex
and 200 bottles of hand sanitizers to AHS teachers and students in early January. It also helped promote
Arcadia Music Club’s 48th Annual Spaghetti Dinner and the 21st Annual Orchestra Benefit Dinner by
inviting Chairwoman Angela Hui to distribute event flyers at its monthly meeting. On January 17,
many AHSCPBC parents and students also served at Spaghetti Dinner before they enjoyed the spectacular performances of Marching Band, Color Guard, Pep Band, and Percussion.
Hostesses and AHS students throw a farewell
party for Denmark band students.
Volunteers distribute Kleenex and hand sanitizers to AHS Teacher’s mailboxes.

AEF
Dedicated to Making Our Kids Prepared & Competitive for College!
The sole purpose of the Arcadia Educational Foundation (AEF) is to raise funds to ensure that students of the Arcadia Unified School District
(AUSD) are prepared and competitive for college
and careers. AEF fundraising allowed AUSD the
ability to hire two new counselors to support students during transitions periods in their education.
AEF is committed to the transitional counselors
and strives to hire one or more dedicated college
counselors, but in order to do so, money must be
raised every year. Successful educational foundation such as San Marino and La Canada have
~60% participation rates. In contrast, only 4% of
AUSD families contribute. If every student in the
district could just donate $20 more than they did
last year, AEF would have sufficient funds for both
the transition and college counselors.
Consider supporting AEF in better equipping our
students for the future. Donations may be made by
check payable to "AEF" or online by credit card.
Visit the AEF website at
www.ArcadiaEdFoundation.org
to read the full article on AEF's
commitment to counselors. Also
available in Chinese.
