This exciting program will be offered at Upper Lake High School, Terrace Middle School, Clear Lake High School, Mt. Vista Middle School, Middletown Middle School, Middletown High School and Lower Lake.
The academies will be held during the summer for four weeks, Monday through Friday, for four hours a day, and are limited to 28 students in each academy.
Students will strengthen their academic skills in algebra, science and English through work-based projects that duplicate real-world skills. For example, students will build a small solar car and will then race the car in a competition against neighboring academy students.
Program highlights include at least one field trip to a museums and/or college. A college scholarship will be available to one lucky seventh grade student (courtesy of Mendo Lake Credit Union), and eighth and ninth grade students will be eligible for high school and college credit upon successful completion of the program.
This innovative program is offered in partnership with the University of California San Francisco, ARCHES (Alliance for Regional Collaboration to Heighten Educational Success, United Way of the Wine Country, Mendo-Lake Credit Union, and Migrant Education and Mendocino College.

We would to publicly thank a person who has been here for Carlé when we needed it most. This person is respected highly by the staff and students and is recognized by all of our teen parents. This person is our very own Valerie Lucchesi. She is the director of Carlé High School's kid center and will be greatly missed.
Verna Rogers said, “Wow, Valerie is plain amazing.”
Principal Ed Zander said, “She is a great person and we will miss her dearly.”
This past week Carlé students who attended at a 90 percent or better attendance all year got to attend a special field trip. The students: Joshua Borba, Leana Eifestioni, Ashley Wiebush, Aaron Trammell, John Watson, Anthony Henson, Morgana Grantham, Chantelle Clemmons, Broke Robb, Gieneva Hudson, Marquice Lamar and Nate Oberdorf were taken to the Pine Summit pool in Cobb for a
fun day.
Teacher Steve Hamann and Pat Howell were the organizers of this event.
“The trip was fun but I got cold fast. The food was good,” said student Nate Oberdorf.
As a student who attended the event myself I would like to say that the trip was amazing – thanks Steve, and thank you Pat.
Also I would like to thank Anthony Henson in assisting in the cooking of all the hamburgers. It seems over this year we have seen a lot of kindness and gratitude, but the person who made it so easy this year was in fact Ed Zander.
Ed came here from Pomo elementary and brought great smiles and a true can-do attitude to our school. Ed has been known to have a huge sense of humor and he is by far the best replacement for Bill MacDougall possible.
“I think that Zander was the best to fill Bill's shoes,” said student Paul Silsby.
Teacher Alan Siegel said, “Zander is an amazing person and as a staff member we will be looking forward to many more year's with him.”
This year Carlé's media room stepped up by creating all 38 plaques that would be presented to the 2009 seniors on grad night. We would also like to congratulate Chris Clark in his performance of an original song for Valerie this week.
This week's final student of the week is Gloria Rojas. Gloria came at the beginning of the year and has been a non-stop worker. Angie Siegel said, “This young lady is a super hard worker. She has amazing attendance and is kind to others.”
This year at graduation scholarships were handed out to 12 students who led us in community service. Students Faron Moran, Jamila Parker, Justin Duncan, Marissa Tagle, Kelly Trask, Alexandra Huff, Kayla Mincey, Alex Meek, Paige Salvante, Marquice Lamar, Kristina Micheletti received $250 scholarships. Student Bonny Passley received a $500 scholarship for her efforts at Carlé High School. The scholarships would not be possible if it wasn't for the Lower Lake Action Group.
So as this school year is over I would like to thank our very own secretary Barbara Dye. Every year this young lady puts all her efforts and more into our school to make it possible. Also, we would like to thank Gina Layne for taking her time and money to make beautiful flower leis for our graduating
seniors.
This completes another successful year here at Carlé High School. We look forward to the great thing our current juniors will bring to us as the leaders of the school next year.
Joshua Borba is a student at Carlé High School in Lower Lake.
