Thanks!

While we have all been able to enjoy a week of rest and celebration, it is important that we take a little time to express our thanks and respect for the men and women of our custodial and maintenance departments.  These hard working men and women have spent their week cleaning and repairing HHS.  Please take time to let them know how much you appreciate their efforts on our behalf.

A Green and Gold Evening!

Gratitude and congratulations are in order for the HHS Green & Gold committee after a spectacular evening at the Swiss Club. Last night's Hall of Fame Induction featured great stories and salutes to Viking champions from the past. Mr. Marv Wood and Mrs. Arleta Aguirre are to be commended for all their hard work in organizing this terrific event!

Thanksgiving Break.

Be Advised, next week the streets will once more be prowled by Holtville Students ages 6 - 18. HUSD will be out of school all week to celebrate Thanksgiving. School will start up again on November 30.

A reader asked...

Wow... Seems I forgot something important with all that's been going on. Sorry about that Viking Fans... So, in response to a posted question...

On Friday, October 30th, HHS welcomed the Redhawks of Mt. Empire High to Birger Field for our 2009 Homecoming Football Game. Amid the revelry of the evening, the Viking boys played a hardfought game against the Redhawks, but a last minute scoring drive by the Redhawks stole the Viking's thunder. All in all, it was a great evening, but just didn't turn out the way the boys had hoped.

Sorry for neglecting that bit of information previously.

A Rough Friday Night!

Well it was a disappointing Friday night for the boys and girls of Holtville High School.

In Volleyball action, the girls went down in three games to Santa Fe Christian in CIF Round 2 action. The games were tight, with lots of action and the girls stayed close but couldn't pull it out.

On the Football field in Calipatria, the boys lost a heartbreaker to the Hornets, and the Axe changed hands... finding a home on the North end of the valley for the next year. The 22-20 loss saw lots of great action and amazing gameplay by our Vikes, with standout playing by Ethan M, Steven P. , and Benji A.

CIF Victory!!!

Congratulations to the Lady Vikes... our volleyball superstars!

Tonight they knocked out the Mater Dei squad in round one of CIF action. The three game sweep was picture perfect as the girls demonstrated poise and teamwork in their dominating performance!

Friday night the ladies will be heading over the hill to Santa Fe Christian... Game time at 5:00PM.

HHS has gone to the birds!

HHS was "phlocked" this morning. A "phlock"of pink "phlamingos" arrived in front of the gym, courtesy of the HHS Physics Club. Our physics club is going to be "phundraising" using the "phlashily phestooned pheux pheathery phriends." If you are interested in "phlocking" a "phriends" home or business, please call the "phlamingo" hotline @ 760-791-9409 after 6:00 pm.

Heading For the Playoffs!

The Holtville Viking Volleyball team is heading into the first round of the CIF playoffs.

The Vikings will be hosting the ladies of Mater Dei High School this Tuesday, November 10th at 7:00PM in the Kirchenbauer Sports Complex.

Lets all turn out to cheer on our Ladies as they start their CIF journey!
