A Big Thank You - to our YLHS PTSA who has donated $4,000 to maintain out YLHS website and $5,000 to purchase benches for our campus. Their support of our school is amazing. New benches will be placed on campus where our students are meeting during lunchtime. Kristen You, PTSA President, and her board members are dedicating many, many hours and funding to make YLHS the best it can be!

Congratulations to YLHS Band, Drums and Color Guard – for their 1st Place Finish at the Loara
Tournament in Anaheim last weekend. This is a great fall tournament with bands and color guards from all over Southern California.

TONIGHT - the YLHS Sinfonia Orchestra will join the EHD, EDHS and VHS orchestras for a night of wonderful string music.  This is a FREE concert and will be held at the new District Performing Arts Center (at El Dorado) at 7:00 p.m.  If you were not able to attend the GALA, this is your opportunity to listen to some great music by our musicians and see the new Performing Arts Center!
