From the Principal

Noreen Likins

It is my pleasure to welcome you to the 2009-2010 school year. I hope you all enjoyed a relaxing and rejuvenating summer break and are ready for an exciting year ahead. I would like to extend a very special welcome to our freshmen and to all the students and families who are new to Gunn. This is a wonderful community and we are so glad that you will be part of it.

As usual, this has been a busy summer! No sooner is school out in June than we begin preparing for the return of our students the following school year. We have been working on the master schedule, campus cleaning, summer mailing, planning, hiring, installing new computer labs, planting more flowers and many other things that seem to require attention and cannot be done while school is in session. Thanks to community support via the bond Measure A and the District, our athletic facilities renovation continued during the summer and everything, including the lovely new swimming pool is now almost finished. We are so grateful and invite you to come to campus to see the transformation if you have not already done so. It is really remarkable.

I look forward to seeing you at Back-To-School Night on September 3 and at the many exciting music, drama, sports and other activities that happen all year long. We have wonderful, dedicated teachers and amazingly talented young people at Gunn. We invite you to come and share our world! Come see a play, attend a concert or watch a football game, tennis, volleyball or water polo match this fall, and celebrate the efforts and many successes of our students. We have an exciting year ahead of us!
