What the market experts are saying... “Contrary to the red-hot markets of 2020 and 2021, Lawrence Yun - economist for NAR - predicted that home sales will fall by 9% this year, and home prices will rise 8%, adding up to a 1% decline in sales volume and estimates 2023’s sales volume will rise 3% due to a more moderate 1% drop in sales and 4% rise in home prices. If a recession happens it will be an unusual one in that employment is at an all-time high.” —Leonard Steinberg

A NOTE FROM THE GUEST EDITOR | CUSD SUPERINTENDENT
CORONADO UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT Located in the heart of the village, Coronado Unified School District serves 2,800 preschool – Adult Transition students at four public schools: Coronado High School, Coronado Middle School, and Village and Silver Strand elementary schools. Our nationally recognized Coronado School of the Arts (CoSA) is a school-withina-school located on the high school campus. CoSA provides an intensive, pre-professional arts education in six conservatories to students from Coronado and all over San Diego. The mission of the district focuses on quality education for life: "Through rigorous academic standards, high expectations, and a coordinated curriculum, the Coronado Unified School District, in partnership with our community, will graduate students with the knowledge and skills necessary to excel in higher education, careers, society, and life with the confidence to determine their futures." CUSD prioritizes creating safe and inclusive environments where our students can grow from wherever they are and thrive emotionally and academically. The community sets high expectations for its public schools and the district meets that challenge with robust experiences across multiple pathways, exceptional faculty and a 97% graduation rate. Math, Science and English Language Arts curriculum are aligned from elementary through high school. Visual and performing arts experiences begin in elementary school and culminate in AP arts courses and CoSA programs at CHS. We are expanding both engineering and world language curriculum at the elementary level to prepare students for advanced and college level courses in high school. Many of Coronado’s business owners, leaders and elected officials are CHS graduates. And CUSD families are often multi-generational, with many current students attending the same schools as their parents once did. CUSD serves two navy bases within the district boundaries and has a 41% military student population. Military students, who move on average every two to three years, bring diverse perspectives and experiences into our classrooms. We have a robust partnership with the Navy, including Military Family Life Counselors on all campuses and a dedicated School Liaison Officer.

CUSD is uniquely positioned as sharing the same geographical boundary as the city, resulting in collaborations that improve services and opportunities for both students and residents. In addition to supportive and engaged parents, we benefit from strong partnerships with the city government, local businesses, the Chamber of Commerce and active civic service organizations. The district is also supported by the Coronado Schools Foundation, which raises funds to provide enhanced learning experiences for all students in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) and the arts. Our facilities are well-maintained and support events such as the Coronado Island Film Festival and other community programs open to the public. A joint-use agreement between CUSD and the City of Coronado provides for public access and resident use of facilities such as athletic fields, playgrounds, the gym, tennis courts, auditoriums, etc. that contribute to community wellness. A crown jewel among our facilities is the world-class Brian Bent Memorial Aquatics Center. The BBMAC is the home of the CHS Islander swim and water polo teams, as well as middle and high school P.E. classes. The versatile facility, which includes two pools and access to work-out rooms and fields, also hosts numerous college and club teams for training blocks throughout the year. The Islander Sports Foundation motto ‘One Town One Team’ embodies the spirit of CUSD. The schools and the community have been knit together since the district was established in 1913. It takes a village to connect, challenge and champion every student every day, and to prepare students for college and careers after CUSD. Together, with our community, we are educating the next generation of leaders, thinkers and citizens.

Jodi Judd, Silver Strand Elementary, 2nd Grade Teacher
Jodi Judd has been a teacher in the district since 1999. Her experience, curiosity and calm demeanor endear her to colleagues and students alike. Her students shared their thoughts on their teacher: “Mrs. Judd believes in us and when we make mistakes she tells us it’s okay,” said Eva. “She’s the perfect combination of strict and fun,” said Jack. “She’s kind,” was the unanimous opinion of her class. Silver Strand’s Reading Specialist Ellen Cody shared, “Jodi incorporates project-based learning, which allows enrichment for academically strong students and a love of learning for all. One such activity is her "Invention Convention" where students create inventions from everyday things (and their creativity) to share with their classmates.” Cody added that “Jodi was a military dependent as a child and taught in South Korea through the Department of Defense prior to coming to Coronado, so she understands the unique needs of our military population.”
Rise’ Cooley, Village Elementary, 3rd Grade Teacher
Rise’ Cooley has been a teacher in the district since 1998. Her openness to new ideas and passion for teaching and learning make her a leader among her peers. Students in her 3rd grade classroom credit her with making school and learning fun: "She's a fun teacher and tries to make things fun every day by having animals in the classroom," said Maddox. Wolfgang added, "When she was sick, we knew that she missed us. She said, I'd rather be with you than at home. She understands our needs and is trustworthy." Maddie put it succinctly, saying, “She is determined to help us learn!” “You can definitely tell that her students adore her and are thriving with the supports she has instilled,” noted Village Teacher Alexis Wright. “She is constantly evolving and never ceases to amaze her teammates. Risé spends many tireless hours ensuring that her students are receiving top notch instruction skills. She truly embodies everything that it means to be an educator,” Wright added.
Kevin Ramirez, Coronado Middle School, 6th Grade Science and ASB
Kevin Ramirez has been teaching in the district since 2013. In addition to teaching 6th grade science and ASB, he serves as the school’s Science Department lead and co-advisor for the CMS Optimist Club. Kevin begins each class period by helping students find their own voice and develop their own ideas as they examine together something newsworthy in the world of science. His classes are collaborative and safe places where students thrive and explore the world around them. Current and former students of Mr. Ramirez expressed their gratitude for time spent in his classroom: “Mr. Ramirez gains a connection with students that allows them to be creative and be themselves, no teacher I’ve ever met is like him and he is truly unforgettable,” shared Bella.

“He not only teaches us content but is a role model to us students. He doesn’t just do what’s expected, he connects with us and makes us feel like school is our second home,” said Sydney. Liam added, “He makes everyone he is around feel important and good about themselves.” CMS science teacher Stacy Salimando shared, “Kevin Ramirez is a wonderful co-worker. He puts in an incredible amount of effort every day to do the absolute best he can to serve all students and staff from various cultural and academic backgrounds. He goes above and beyond for all of his 6th grade students, ASB, and helped out with KCMS extensively during the beginning of the year.”
William Lemei, Coronado High School, Physics/AP Physics Teacher
William “Bill” Lemei began teaching at CHS in 2000 and has taught various mathematics subjects and all levels of physics over the years. He has a special bond with students, sharing in their Islander heritage as a 1965 CHS graduate. His gentle nature and insightful communication skills have a positive impact on his students and on staff members across the entire district. Fellow teacher Nicole Belong acknowledged Lemei’s leadership role, "He is a great leader. Stepping up to do the work on our new LMS (Learning Management System) and present that to our CUSD focus group” Belong said. CHS math teacher Michelle Walker summed up Lemei’s influence on his colleagues. “He is honest but comforting, demanding but bendable, and knowledgeable but questioning. I aspire to be like him, but I can never attain his kind of greatness. He is simply one word - AMAZING.” He is also popular and respected among students, and consistently receives multiple nominations for the annual student-selected Most Inspirational Teacher award. “Mr Lemei inspires his students to find what they love through his passion for physics,” said Mallory. Josephine agreed, “Mr. Lemei is so passionate about teaching. He’s eager to teach us, which makes us eager to learn.” Abi shared, “Not only does he care about us learning, he also cares about us becoming good people.” CHS Principal Karin Mellina said, “Mr. Lemei prepares our students to be inquisitive, mindful thinkers and inspires everyone he meets to embrace their best self.” In addition to being named the CHS Teacher of the Year, Lemei has also been selected as the CUSD District Teacher of the Year. As the CUSD representative, Lemei will be nominated for the San Diego County Teacher of the Year award and honored at the annual Cox Communications “Salute to Teachers” event next fall.
• Maria Simon currently works as the Public Information Officer at the Coronado Unified School District. Her three children (ages 20, 22, 24) are Coronado High School graduates and attended CUSD schools from kindergarten. She previously served for eight years as a trustee on the CUSD Governing Board.

SEALKIDS
Keeping SEALs & Their Kids in the Fight for Bright Futures
Nonprofit Relies on Local Support to Serve Children of Naval Special Warfare in Coronado & Beyond By Aly Lawson
Y
ou may know of SEALKIDS if you’re a Navy SEAL family. But if you haven’t heard of them, take a look. And if you can assist them, do it. “SEALKIDS relies on donations from individuals, corporations, and foundations to serve the children of Naval Special Warfare. Without continued growth of strong funding and support, the program can’t serve more kids than it is today, approximately 300,” says SEALKIDS Director of Advancement JoAnne Griffin, a Navy SEAL wife and Coronado mom. “We want to grow and be able to help more kids! It’s really that simple.” SEALKIDS, a national nonprofit, steps in to fill the gap between health insurance and public education to ensure these deserving students meet their full academic potential. The military lifestyle can create added challenges for children struggling in school — frequent moves, increased anxiety, and inconsistent service provision at different schools. “Even our bravest individuals need support, and we are here for their children,” Griffin shares as part of their vision. “SEALKIDS has a deep and personal understanding of life in the Naval Special Warfare, or NSW, community and can help their children overcome academic struggles. Our proven programs lead to success in school, which translates to success in life.”

SEALKIDS bridges both large and small gaps, she explains. Services can include professional special education advocates to attend IEP meetings with a parent of a SEAL child; specialized instruction (specific types of tutoring designed to meet the unique needs) for someone with dyslexia, dysgraphia or dyscalculia; or testing to identify the root cause of a child’s academic struggles. “These expenses can be quite costly, as you can imagine,” Griffin notes. Through donations, SEALKIDS is able to bridge both large and small gaps, she explains. SEALKIDS has a 13-member board of directors and six-person staff that implements the overall educational needs of SEALKIDS grant beneficiaries. This year marks the 60th anniversary of US Navy SEALs (Sea, Air and Land teams) and UDT (Underwater Demolition Team) — as well as the 11th anniversary of SEALKIDS. SEALKIDS was founded by Suzanne Vogel and her children. The organization was born from kids wanting to help other kids, Griffin adds. “I would not have been inclined to return to operational status if we did not have the support of SEALKIDS,” said one active-duty Navy SEAL operator. SEALKIDS supports the children of NSW — everyday kids living in extraordinary circumstances, and it fights for Navy SEAL children so the SEALs can focus on the battlefield, the nonprofit shares. The organization assists both children and parents in navigating academic challenges, creating measurable impact and changing lives. SEALKIDS’ programs provide testing and evaluations to identify learning, emotional and behavioral issues causing classroom struggles. Then they pair students with experts to address each child’s individual needs to help them excel in school and in life, giving spouses much-needed support and allowing NSW operators to focus on their mission.
How can you help SEALKIDS? • Host a SEALKIDS fundraiser at your favorite store • Host a dinner to benefit SEALKIDS (host your friends at home with the help of SEALKIDS) • Donate at SEALKIDS.org (weekly, monthly, or yearly) • Plan a gift through your trust or IRA • Sign up for matching gifts through your employer • Mail a check • Sign up SEALKIDS for your AmazonSmile donations “Everybody has their threshold of giving,” Griffin points out, and she encourages the community to reach out and be creative in any fundraising ideas. “Every dollar helps a child, every dollar makes a difference … Imagine that for less than $20 a month you can change the life of a SEAL kid,” she mentions with a smile.
Griffin describes how our cup of purchased coffee easily becomes a fund to support a child being challenged. There are also upcoming events to attend, including the SEALKIDS SQUAD Run, Walk & Roll, plus the upcoming — and almost sold out — Sunset Cruise on Triton Charters in San Diego.
“What we get, we put right back out,” Griffin reminds. Questions can be directed to JoAnne Griffin at jgriffin@sealkids.org or visit sealkids.org. Follow SEALKIDS on social media Facebook – @SEALKIDS Twitter – @sealkids Instagram – @sealkids Linkedin – @sealkids-inc

ummer in Coronado means school’s out, vacation time is here and an influx of tourists have arrived, some for a day trip while others plan a longer stay. And the familiar cry is “What is there to do here now?” But don’t feel bad, we often hear that refrain from locals as well as our visitors. If you are with the teen and younger group, you do not have to spend money to keep them entertained. Just turn them loose on the beach to enjoy our spot of heaven — the Pacific Ocean. Another fun fact: best seen from the air, CORONADO is spelled out on the dunes on central beach between the Hotel Del and the back gate of North Island. We have been ranked among the top

beaches both in the U.S. and internationally as well. That makes our island an even more popular site to visit. If your youngsters are tired of the beach, then try another sport such as tennis or the skate park at Tidelands. Adults and moms in particular should take the time to enjoy Orange Avenue. Orange Avenue in Coronado is very similar to Main Street, U.S.A. We remain a small town across the bridge for one of the largest cities in the country. Most of our shops are owned by local individuals who pride themselves in their merchandise displays. You can find everything from clothes, jewelry, imports, shoes and, to be expected, many gift items. If you are here staying in the village then take the time to venture down to First Street heading toward the Ferry Landing. Again, you will find an assortment of shops as well as a variety of food choices to entice you. Golf and tennis are probably the most popular choices for many. Our golf course is not only a great course following the bay but it is purported to be the least expensive in the whole county. Can’t think of anything else to do? Rent a bike from Holland’s and really get to enjoy our town. They also rent the four wheelers with the fringe on top for about four people to pedal. Spreckels Park is a favorite among many, where youngsters can enjoy the playground, giving parents and other adults a moment to rest. On weekends, you can also have an opportunity to look over the work of local artists who show at Art in the Park. Sunday afternoon and evening for many years now must be a trip to the park for our concerts at the bandstand, organized by Coronado
Promenade Concerts. It has become a time to chat with friends, partake in some great picnic lunches while enjoying good music from local groups or perhaps a Navy band. We have had concerts in the park for so many years now that families have the same spot week after week and year after year. Now we see some of the third generation joining in as well. This year, Concerts in the Park is celebrating its 50th Anniversary, so it is sure to be a great concert season! For those who have not had the time, how about a visit to our own museum at the Coronado Historical Association building on Orange Avenue next to Tent City Restaurant. If you start early you can sign up for the walking tour of Coronado, led by one of our docents. It is informative, fun and adds to your 10,000-step goal for the day. Another tour for those new to town is the Hotel del Coronado docent-led tour of the hotel and grounds. These are just some of the ways to enjoy summer in Coronado. So what do you think? Can you find something to do here this summer? You can purchase walking tour tickets at coronadohistory.org and view the Concert in the Park line-up at coronadoconcert.com.

My Heart is in Havana The rise of the Cuban Sandwich
Story & Photos by Chef Clyde Van Arsdall IV
T
he movie Chef did more to popularize the Cuban sandwich outside of Florida than any other single event. Sofia Vergara and hot-pressed pork sandwiches, you have my full attention. This regional sandwich is all the rage, but is it movieworthy? Why all the hype? A Cuban sandwich, also known as a Cubano, is a pork lover's delight as it features two kinds of the “other white meat.” The first, a slowroasted pork shoulder that has been marinated and cooked with a citrus-rich, garlic-forward mojo sauce. The second, thinly sliced ham, either honey roasted or smoked; both work well in this sandwich. Dill pickle planks, yellow mustard and Swiss cheese join the party between the two halves of a Cuban roll. Things heat up as the sandwich is buttered and pressed on a plancha. A plancha is like a panini grill without ridges, so it's flat. The plancha presses and cooks the sandwich from the top and the bottom simultaneously. This squeeze causes the cheese to melt, fusing the ingredients into what I can only imagine is the taste of Cuba. Side note: If you're in Tampa, genoa salami is part of the mix. In Miami, the addition of said salami is sacrilegious.

Trust me when I say this is a serious riff. Floridians take their Cubans seriously. I will give you a brief history of the sandwich and tell you where to find a good Cubano here in San Diego. I will also leave you with everything you need to know to make a great Cuban sandwich at home. Let's press on. How this sandwich came about is as much a stateside story as a Cuban one. Workers from Cuba, Italy, Spain and Germany came to Florida to work in cigar factories. The blending of these cultures led to the version of the Cuban sandwich most Floridians identify with today. The bread has Latin roots and is made with lard, but light and flaky. The roasted pork marinated in mojo sauce is Cuban. The smoked ham comes from Spain and the salami, if you are in Tampa, comes from the Italians. The pickles, mustard and Swiss cheese are German in origin.

I won't bore you with the long rift between Tampa and Miami. All you need to know is that each city claims to have invented the sandwich. After much research, I feel that Tampa was ground zero as there is a recorded history of the sandwich before the establishment of Maimi as a city. However, Miami put this sandwich on the map. The only difference between the two versions is the addition of salami

in Tampa. I will let the reader decide which is best; I know when to keep my opinion to myself. The sandwich is simple, but don't let that fool you into just throwing it together. Unfortunately, I have had my fair share of bad Cubanos. Two factors that make or break an excellent Cuban are lack of moisture and flavor. If the roast pork is dry and flavorless, your Cubano will be too. My recent
quest for a good locally made Cuban turned up several that missed the mark entirely. Not everyone has the juice to make this sandwich from scratch, but not to worry—there is one local spot I can suggest that has excellent Cubans. I am
in love with The Cubano Kings. Jose and his amazing Cubanos post up at a kitchen in Coronado on Thursdays; order them on Doordash from 9 a.m - 3 p.m. In addition to Thursdays on the island, The Cubano Kings sells sandwiches at several local farmers’ markets: Little Italy, Hillcrest and Pacific Beach. Cuba is a phone call away, so don't miss having one of these delivered. Don’t forget to let Jose know that I sent you. The China Box, La Caja China I would be remiss not to mention the China Box, La Caja China. Cubans love to roast whole pigs and often use this pork to make their Cuban sandwiches. Whole pigs are typically cooked in a metal-lined wooden roasting box called La Caja China. The China Box can cook a whole pig in about four hours, almost half the time of traditional methods. The box emulates cooking something underground. The specially designed lid holds the fuel. Forty to fifty pounds of charcoal, added in stages, cook the pig from the top-down. I should be able to tell you how this transfer of heat works but alas I went to Coronado High School, but I simply chalk it up to magic. The box got its name from native Caribbean people using the word Chinese or China as slang for anything exotic or magical. The box is both, so they started to refer to it as the China Box. The pork produced using this method is next-level good. This is due to the various parts of the pig being chopped and mixed to form a heavenly blend of flavors. A sandwich vendor using this method can elevate his Cubano to cult status. Don’t be afraid to try making cubanos at home. If you do it right, you can get several meals out of the process. Cook your pork shoulder and serve

with rice, black beans and fried plantains for dinner. Then the next day, use the left-over pork to make cubanos. Don’t forget to play some good Cuban music and serve some Cuba Libres. Grab a bottle of your favorite rum and some Mexican cokes, the ones in the in the glass bottle, as these cokes still contain cane sugar. Garnish with a squeeze of lime and fresh mint. The perfect toast is simply “Cuba Libre.” Enjoy! • Clyde Van Arsdall is a thirdgeneration Coronado Local, chef and storyteller.

Designer Hack: THE DOS AND DON’TS
OF HANGING CURTAINS By Jessica Nicolls + Karyn Frazier Photos by Samantha Goh Photography

S
omething they don’t teach you in design school but is one of the most important tricks of the trade is getting curtain placement and length right in a room. One of our favorite ways to frame a window is a gorgeous pair of curtains. You can immediately transform a room with properly hung curtains. They provide a softness and become a great way to add pattern and texture into a space. We use them as a tool to trick your eye into making the room feel taller and wider. Here are some tips on how to properly hang your curtains to maximize your window view and to best compliment the room. 1. Height of the rod: To create the illusion of added height, we place the curtain rod as close to the ceiling as possible. 2. Drapery length: You want your curtains to just kiss the floor. 3. Length of the rod: We like to extend the rod far enough on either side of the window so that when the curtains are open you can see the entire window. 4. How many panels: You want the curtain panels to still look bunched a bit when closed. Sometimes that means getting an extra panel for each side so that when they are closed, they don’t appear stretched out.

3, 2, 1, LEGO! Introducing tomorrow’s innovators and today’s student athletes! Coronado Middle School Robotics Story & Photos by Roberta Lenert
T
he crowd quiets in anticipation as the robotics teams line up at their competition tables. The judge at each table gives a thumbs up, and when the last thumb is raised the countdown starts … 3, 2, 1, LEGO! Almost simultaneously, each team pushes the start button on their super engineered Spike Prime robot, each one custombuilt by its team, rebuilt and repaired dozens of times and meticulously coded over the course of nine months. The robots accelerate into action, weaving from challenge to challenge using components installed by their team such as internal gyroscopes, optical sensors and specially designed mission attachments. The crowd holds its breath as challenges are completed or missed and points are earned or deducted, until the digital display shows two and a half minutes elapsed. Releasing their tension in a roar, the students and crowd go wild! This competition is like nothing you have ever seen before! Competitive student athletes, trained judges, complex three-dimensional competition tables and a score board that is continually updated as each round is completed. This is not the afterschool robotics hobby of the past. This is something completely different. This is the newest school sport: one that combines science, technology, engineering and math, with teamwork, sportsmanship, cheering sections, a scoreboard and prestigious awards. Specifically, this is the Coronado Middle School Robotics Team. And they are outstanding at what they do. Each of the teams are comprised of student athletes who develop skills at engineering, coding, website design, digital art, innovative problem solving and public speaking. Organized by LEGO, the teams can go to regional, state and national tournaments to compete, share their knowledge, compare ideas and display their robots. Robotics Competitions Teams practice for competitions judged in four sections. The first judging session, Core Values, is designed to determine how the team works together and demonstrates inspiration, teamwork, gracious professionalism and competitive

cooperation. The second is Robot Design, or technical judging, based upon the mechanical design, programming and the strategy and innovation of their robot. The third is the Project, where the students give a five-minute presentation on research of a topic related to that year’s challenge, using public speaking skills to show how they identified a problem, created an innovative solution and shared their ideas with professionals in the real world who have expertise in that area. The fourth session is the live robot run: the exciting, crowd-pleasing Robot Game. This involves student designing and programming of specialized robotics parts that can complete complex challenges on a table tennis-sized competition table in under two and a half minutes. All robots are run by code, overseen by a two-person team that cannot touch or manipulate the robot once it leaves homebase to autonomously compete missions as complex or straightforward as it has been programed. Whew, that is a lot to follow. And throughout it all, the students must stay composed and show gracious professionalism – competing with high-quality work while respecting and encouraging others in the process. But the events, even the practices, are full of infectious fun. What started as three teams practicing at a house in the Coronado Cays during the summer has grown into one of the top competitive robotics programs in Southern California! The CMS Robotics Program CMS Robotics was created in 2018 with three competition teams. We have successfully grown to five competition teams in 2021-22, with students returning from high school to Splash pad and waterfall at Wild Woods in the serve asExplorers mentors Basecamp. and assistant coaches.

they must identify a real-world problem related to the theme and create a solution. They also must design, build and program a robot using LEGO Mindstorms and Spike Prime Robots, then compete on a tabletop playing field to complete missions for points. All competition is connected to the main focus of Core Values. Each team is judged on their representation of Core Values in everything that they do!. It all adds up to tons of fun while they learn to apply science, technology, engineering and math concepts (STEM), plus a big dose of imagination to solve a problem. Along their journey, students develop critical thinking and team-building skills, basic STEM applications and even presentation skills, as they must present their solutions with a dash of creativity to judges. They also practice the Program’s Core Values, which emphasize discovery, teamwork and good sportsmanship. CMS Robotics Coaches and Mentors Numerous coaches and mentors put in countless hours pouring knowledge and guidance into the students of Coronado.

CHS Class of 2022
SENIOR ART By Heather Canton
F
illed with gratitude for their teachers, Coronado High School art students were asked to give advice to underclassmen who they’ll leave behind this month at graduation. As these beautiful souls enthusiastically shared their thoughts, beloved Visual Art Department teacher, Laura Hill and I agreed they are truly wise beyond their years, giving advice that the whole community can benefit from. In these pages, their exceptional talent as young artists, along with these heartfelt pearls of wisdom they impart, will be kept preserved as a special keepsake in this issue for years to come.
Ms. Hill has helped me come out of my shell as a person. I was a very anxious kid and learning ways to express myself and finding out what it is I'm interested in has definitely helped me become much more of myself. Freshman year, I hardly spoke to any of my teachers, but now as a senior, I've befriended all of my teachers. After graduation, I plan to study at Grossmont Community College to become a baker, and I hope to have my own business one day — among the many other things I want to do at some point in my life. I think of baking as an art form. I can't really see myself doing anything with my life that isn't artistic in some way. I'm not the best academically, and I struggle with procrastination and finding motivation to do work I don't want to do, so my advice is to balance work with something you enjoy — whether it's art or something else. Your life should be balanced. You shouldn't only focus on the hard work OR only focus on the fun stuff. Instead, you should balance it out, or find fun ways to do the hard work. Like sometimes I'll find ways to incorporate creativity into more mundane assignments. Finding this balance makes the hard work not feel as hard. Also, I've been hard on myself in the past for not reaching unrealistic expectations. So, stop beating yourself up. Give yourself a break for not excelling in every subject and be proud of yourself — even if it's for simply getting a passing grade. - Caitlin Cahill 50

I've taken Ms. Hill's art class every single year, and I'm taking it twice this year because she really is just the best — like she's the best out there. She is so supportive with art projects we want to do and you can tell just by being around her for like five minutes how much she loves her students, and how much we love her in return. We adore her. Everyone adores Ms. Hill. My advice to underclassmen isn't exactly art-based advice per se, but I feel like not enough people recognize that academics are not everything and they are not for everybody. Some people thrive in academic environments, and some people really just do not. I think high schools in general don't track how intelligent you are — a lot of the time it just tracks how well you memorize information. So definitely put effort into academic classes and put your all into school because it is your job and it is important, but my biggest piece of advice is please do not connect your self-
worth to how you do academically in school, because that can be so damaging, especially now that it's so competitive. Grades do not equate to how intelligent you are. Expressing artistry is so important. It's a great coping mechanism. If you don't like one type of art, there are so many different kinds of art — there's visual art, there's writing, there's music — art is everywhere. I'm like four chapters in to writing a book right now just for fun. Art is a wonderful tool to improve your mental state and to expand on things you might not be dealing with very well. - Skyler Smith

Art, especially Ms. Hill's art classes, because I've taken them all four years, has helped me focus on how I want to express myself. I do a lot of writing and poetry but I love finding new ways to express myself. I have ideas and messages I want to send out and I've found art is very useful in bringing that out. I'm currently working on a series of charcoal bunny drawings to earn my Gold award in Girl Scouts to promote animal conservation and the protection of animals. The faculty at CHS, they genuinely care about their students and how their
students learn and they're always available after class if I don't understand something. They're very attentive to the students and that's helped me a lot in my education, but also for my self-confidence and growth as a person. In freshman year I would not ask questions — I'd always just try to figure everything out myself, but over the years the faculty has been really attentive to what students need, so I've become so much more comfortable asking questions. My experiences here at CHS has helped me be that person who can ask for help. Biggest thing I would've wanted someone to tell me as a freshman is that you don't need to know everything and even as a senior you don't need to know everything right now, all at once. You don't need to know where you're gonna go, which college you're going to go to, what you want to study, what you want to pursue, or what specific job you want. You don't really need to know any of that. While it's good to know and have a goal, that stress of just trying to figure everything out so early on, it's so much pressure. And things change so quickly — you might realize in October of senior year that the college you've wanted to go to for the last four years isn't the school you want to go to anymore. You don't have to have it all figured out. I was one of those freshmen who had to get perfect grades and now I'm good and I'm happy. Life will take me where it takes me and I'm happy with that. - Lera Hill
