Hello again readers, and this is the Carlé Chronicle, your primary news source for all things Carlé High School.

Carlé’s students of the week were Tyjonique “Ty Ty” Beasley and Ben Boyce. Both students are hard-working and talented individuals and Carlé appreciates having them around. We can’t wait to see what their future holds for them.

Our gold level students for the first grading period were just announced.

The hard-working students who maintained a 90-percent or higher attendance rate and received a minimum of 15 credits each were Jose Bendana, Devin Black, Ben Boyce, Angel Cordova, Dameon Dawson, Gage Fowler, Alyssa Goepfort, Chris Nuzzo, Isaiah Piazza and Dustin Wilson.

Autumn is finally here, and the sudden shift in weather has many people feeling, for lack of a better phrase, under the weather.

Our science teacher Angie Siegel would like to thank our gardener Dameon Dawson for all his hard work keeping our plants in the quad green, gorgeous and thriving throughout the school year.

When winter rolls around, Angie will be opening up a greenhouse where students will grow vegetables, and we hope to see many students interested in maintaining and growing our veggies this year.

Back To School night takes place Oct. 2 at 5:30 p.m. It will show students, guardians and staff alike our school’s progress and highlights throughout the year.

Students are encouraged to swing by with a parent or guardian and bring a fresh smile and a hot dish. All who attend and bring their guardian by will gain a small amount of credit in Elective credits.

Carlé’s U.S. History and Civics teacher Alan Siegel was invited to be on the State Teacher of the Year selection committee from Sept. 18 through 20 at the California Department of Education in Sacramento.

Siegel won the award in 2005 and he has been a member of the awards committee since 2007.

The committee helps select these special teachers of the year from every county winner including this year’s Lake County winner, Konocti’s own Kathy Perkins. Siegel must recuse himself when Perkins application comes up.

Regarding the event, Siegel said, “It’s been a special experience for me, because I get to read about the greatest schools and teachers every year and it’s been an honor to be part of this wonderful celebration. I’d also like to say it’s a pleasure to see the different ideas and programs from other teachers and look to adapt them to my own teaching style, and further help the pursuit of knowledge for my students here at Carlé.”

Our senior student Robert McGraw will be designing mugs for the 13 teachers who will be named as semifinalists and finalists. His efforts and artistic prowess are always appreciated.

We’d like to give a shout out our principal Matt Strahl’s mother Pat, who has continuously been following every article about our school. Thank you so much for all your support, Pat!

And thank you all for your own continued support. We hope that our articles have helped shed a light on our little school on the hill.
