ATTENTION LANCERS: Come out and support our boy's and girl's swim and dive teams TODAY, Thursday, April 24th at parkway pool in downtown Chula Vista at 3pm. We will be taking on Mar Vista for the League Championships. Both schools come into Thursday's match undefeated in league and this has traditionally been an incredible meet.

SENIORS: This is reminder that May 1 is the deadline to submit intent to enroll declarations for any CSU or UC school. With limiting enrollments occurring at many of the campuses, it is important that students do not miss this deadline. I know for SDSU, it will not be forgiven unless there is a true emergency situation. (Kaine)

SENIORS: If you have school spirit by being involved in sports, ASB, clubs or drama/music, then the M & M scholarship is for you!! $300 to a Hilltop student. Preferably, going to SDSU, and a plus if going into education. This one is due May 5th. Come by the counseling center and get an application.

SENIORS: If you filled out a Junior Seau Scholarship, make sure there are 3 sheets to the application. Some applications are missing a sheet. See Ms. Gerlack if you need one.

NEED A FUN AND INTERESTING ELECTIVE NEXT YEAR? Take a Southwestern College Class here on campus. Southwestern will be offering Art 104, an Art History Course and AJ 111, administration of justice next Fall! If you are interested, please see your counselor ASAP! Thank You! (Gerlack)

PLC TIDBIT OF THE DAY: Data collection is important in many stages of problem solving and process improvement. Data help you refine the definition of a problem by quantifying its frequency or impact; verify which potential causes of a problem are actual causes; monitor whether changes you’ve made to fix a problem have had the desired impact.
