A Message from the Principal

I want to warmly welcome you to Coronado High School for the 2008-2009 school year. It is hard to believe the summer is almost over and the new school year is upon us. Over the summer months we have been working hard to make certain that everything is in place to ensure your student has an awesome educational experience.

Coronado continues to be a respected learning institution where we have established a strong academic focus, demonstrated excellence in every aspect of our school including athletic and extracurricular activities, and assembled a dedicated, hard-working, and committed staff who do their very best for our students. We are proud to say that once again we have been designated by the state as making AYP which is an incredible accomplishment for our staff, students, and community.

As you begin a new year at Coronado, I would encourage you to attend school every day prepared to work hard as your teachers will provide you with the tools you will need to be successful in your future. Look to be an active participant in athletics, extracurricular activities, and performance groups. Studies show that students who participate in these types of activities while in high school are more successful socially and academically and are better prepared for college. It is exciting to see so many of our students participate in multiple sports and other extracurricular activities, including our outstanding clubs. Our student body and class officers are already at school planning some great activities for all of our students as they return.

I look forward to the 2008-09 school year to be fun and exciting! Coronado is an awesome school and we are committed to provide the best educational experience possible. If you work hard, make good decisions, and take advantage of what we have to offer, you will have an incredible and memorable year. Remember – you will get out of your high school experience what you put into it.

Welcome! I am excited and look forward to another awesome year at Coronado.

Lee Koelliker, Principal

This fee will cover the $5 state-mandated impact concussion test as well as offset the cost of the random drug testing program which will be implemented this year. This fee will only apply once per year. If there are questions, please contact the athletic office at 799-6800, x4204.
