It is our pleasure to announce that the 2010-11 Beaumont High School Yearbook, Live Oak has received a National Scholastic Press Association Mark of Distinction Merit Award.  This is the first independently judged national award for the publication and the yearbook staff.  Congratulations!!

Mr. Michael Williams, a socials studies teacher at BHS, has been selected to receive the Veterans Of Foreign Wars of the U.S. (VFW) High School Teacher of the Year Award. 

His nomination letter included the following from his principal, Mrs. Saucedo:   " Although a young educator, Mr. Williams possesses the attributes that make him an excellent candidate for this award for promoting citizenship education.  As a social studies teacher, Mr. Williams develops daily lessons which build opportunities for discussions and activities which build in his students a sense of national pride.  Through thought-provoking classroom discussions, students in his regular and his Advanced Placement U.S. history classes are able to gain a greater understanding of the values and beliefs upon which America was built.  Along with his duties in the classroom, Mr. Williams serves as the Beaumont High School Coordinator for our annual History Day competition.  This competition allows all social studies students to select topics of interest which often promote civic responsibility and patriotism through project-based experiences and which culminate in a large display of in-depth student work.  Throughout the planning period, Mr. Williams works with individual students as well as with his colleagues to help students select and complete these special projects."

We are very proud to congratulate Mr. Williams on this special award recognition! 

Mr. James Ducat, English teacher at BHS, has been selected as one of the California League of High School (CLHS) Regional Teachers of the Year. James will be recognized on December 8th at the CLHS banquet. On behalf of the Board of Trustees and our entire school district, we want to congratulate James for his continued outstanding contributions to the students and staff of Beaumont High School and the Beaumont Unified School District. 

A historic performance capped a record-setting season for the boys' water polo team on Saturday, as the Cougars defeated the Temescal Canyon Titans, 16-10, to win the CIF division 6 championship! It is the first CIF title in school history for the water polo program, which has been in existence for only 5 years, since the BHS pool was built on the new campus. Brody Wood's 8 goals lead a dominating offensive performance by Beaumont, and goalie Chris Diercks made multiple saves behind a stellar defense. The Cougars took an early 5-1 lead, and never looked back. Landon Carr's buzzer-beating goal at the half put BHS up 10-5. When the lead was stretched to 15-8 late in the 4th quarter, Coach Carlson pulled the starters and all the Cougars had an opportunity to take part in the CIF title match. As the final horn sounded, the Cougars took a victory leap into the pool with Coach Carlson and Coach Weiny to celebrate the championship.

The Cougars finished the season with a school-record 25 wins (25-8 overall), a second consecutive Mt. Pass League title, and a wire-to-wire #1-ranking in the division 6 poll. They have an 18-game MPL winning streak over the last two seasons as well. The sectional title marks the 4th CIF team championship in BHS history. Other championships include the 1967 football team, the 1988 basketball team, and the 1989 baseball team.

Thank you to all of the parents, staff and fans for helping to make this a remarkable season for our team! Congratulations to the coaches and players for a championship that was earned through hard work, perseverance and commitment to a philosophy that was truly about the team. All of that effort culminated in a victory in which you represented your school and community in a manner that will go down in history. Congratulations to our Cougars!

Academic Vocabulary
Academic Vocabulary is an important topic; there are a variety of academic lists that are used in our schools. In partnership with Key Data Systems we have pulled out the common academic words found in the Released Test Questions (RTQs) and standards provided by the California Department of Education. The document is divided by grade level. We recommend that this word list be used throughout the year.

CAHSEE ELA Released Test Questions
This document provides teachers an easy tool as they utilize the Released Test Questions as part of their department and individual standards-based planning for English.

Test-Taking Tips for Parents
As we know parents play a significant role in their children’s educational success. As part of preparation for the annual state testing done in grades 2-11 we have put together this parent brochure with our educational partner, Key Data Systems. This four-panel brochure will provide parents with the Do’s and Don’ts, Test-Taking Strategies, and a list of parent friendly websites to assist their children in this annual event.

This status is awarded to AVID (Advancement Via Individual Determination) sites that have met the eleven AVID Program essentials and Data Collection documentation that supports program effectiveness and student progress.  This self-study and validation process is designed to assist AVID sites with achieving desired benchmarks that are precursors for academic success in high schools and colleges.

We applaud the AVID team and supporting staff for their diligence in attaining this achievement.
