On the weekend of December 2 and 3, nine of Fallbrook High School’s varsity wrestlers went to the Zinkin Classic Tournament in Fresno. The team finished in the top 25 of the 56 teams in attendance despite the fact that this was the first varsity-level experience for many of the team’s wrestlers. Of special note was Joey Granata, who took second place overall at 160 lbs. While this was going on, the frosh/soph team was busy at the Vista Tournament. FHS won four out of their nine duals against the other 12 teams who com...

The students are excited; break is only two days away and the anticipation of progress reports coming home is over. The thought of no tests or running in PE for a whole two weeks seems almost unimaginable! Congratulations, Fallbrook High School, you have made it to winter break!

The teachers here at our local high school work not just five...

They performed for Live Oak students and parents, and this week they are taking a field trip to Pauma Valley to perform for the country club. Great job to those who... Full story

After the Bonsall Union School District (BUSD) Board of Trustees encouraged a room full of people to cure the budget problems of Bonsall Charter Academy for Learning (BCAL), the budget was balanced - based on the numbers provided to the Parent Advisory Board (PAB). Regardless of that, at their Monday night meeting, some board members projected opinions still in favor of revoking the school’s charter. PAB crafted the solution with a number of concerned parents, titled the Parent Advisory Counsel (PAC), after they learned of t... Full story
Fallbrook’s elementary school student population is racially diverse. Drive by Fallbrook Street School or Maie Ellis mid-afternoon any weekday and it’s obvious. While the community boasts few Asians and African Americans, the Latino population is exploding. At present 64 percent of enrollment is Latino and most Latino children entering kindergarten are not ready to be taught in English. For example, 272 students entering kindergarten in Fallbrook during the 2004-2005 school year were tested for English proficiency. Only 41...
Three things were different this time. First, it was the middle of the day. Second, he was fully awake. Third, it was real. In his previous dreams of meeting celebrities, it always ended the same way — with him waking up and finding no one there. When 14-year-old Fallbrook High School freshman Marky Delmege, who is afflicted with a rare genetic skin disorder called Epidermolysis Bullosa, came home from school on Monday, he got the surprise of his life when he was greeted by acclaimed drummer Jim Bogios, a member of the b...
