Hello Spartans:

I hope you had a wonderful week!

On Monday, our staff performed at the year's last rally and did a fantastic job, and they brought joy to our students.

I want to thank the staff members modeling how to have fun through movement and dancing! I look forward to seeing more staff members participate in the future!

Spring is such a busy and exciting season for our incredibly talented athletes, and I wish I could be in more than one place at once.

CCS Track Finals will also take place on Saturday, and I want to wish our Spartans the best of luck!

I also want to thank our amazing head coach, Jonathan Hubbs, and all the other coaches who have supported our Spartans!

Speaking of our incredible athletes, the following athletes did their signing ceremony on Monday, May 18th.

Ryan Chen - Cross Country/Track - US San Diego

Cassdy Misuraca - Cross Country/Track - Cal Poly Pomona

Justin Harrel - Track - UC Santa Cruz

Cyrus Shafie - Soccer - Saint Mary's College of California

Allison Liu - Swimming - University of Pennsylvania

It is so exciting to see our students succeed, and I wish you all the very best!

Congratulations to the seniors who were honored at the Senior Awards Night this week!

I had the distinct pleasure of handing out many of the awards, and I am so incredibly proud of all of them!

As I said during the ceremony, my time at Mountain View began with this year's graduating Spartans. Although Dr. Morelli has been the Assistant Principal, I claim them as "my class," and Dr. Morelli has graciously shared the custody.

I personally know and adore so many of them, and I will miss them so much when they leave us.

Congratulations, Class of 2026!

Congratulations to Cindy Zinn for being the Volunteer of the Year! She was honored at the Volunteer Appreciation Event this morning.

Cindy has spent countless hours as the co-president of the PTSA and one of the four chairpersons for the 2026 Grad Night Committee.

Tara Williamson was also honored and received the Principal's Community Service Award for her many hours of volunteering.

I want to thank them for their hard work and dedication to all our Spartans. They have done so much for the school and for me, serving as the biggest cheerleaders and supporters.

Congratulations, Cindy and Tara! I will miss you both!

I hope you have a wonderful 3-day weekend!

Thank you,

Kip Glazer
