Acknowledgements

We wish to express our gratitude to all who have, in so many ways, contributed to making this a successful and productive school year. A special thanks goes out to all community patrons who volunteered to serve on "Four-Period Day" committees. Additional thanks to those who assisted in the preparation of the "School Self-Study". Bear Boosters, Band Boosters, and Vocal Music Boosters are just three of the many activity support groups that have earned thanks for their providing additional opportunities for student success. The continuation of the success of Central Valley High School is due, in large part, to this level of support. Thank you to the entire community, parents, staff, business and District patrons.
