Outstanding Athletes!

May 14, 2010 - El Modena's Baseball, Boys' Track, Boys' Volleyball, and Softball all clinched Century League titles! Good job Spring Sports! Good luck to these teams as they move forward in CIFs. Also, congratulations to Boys' Soccer for winning league earlier this year!

Seniors Win Spirit Week

Mar. 5, 2010 - El Modena is a very spirited place, and that is never better illustrated than during Spirit Week, a tradition started in the mid 1960’s by El Modena’s first student council.

Over a five-day period (Mar. 1-5) the grades competed for the title of “most spirited.” This year the class themes included “Epic Freshman,” “X,” “Juniors and the Chocolate Factory,” and “Seniors at Sea”. The week-long celebration included the wearing of class t-shirts, games, food, and skits in the Main Quad, as well as campus decorating.

The culminating activity took place on Friday, Mar. 5, when a panel of staff judges determined the winning class. This year’s award of most spirited went to the senior class. Great job, Vanguards!

Snow Day Inner Tubing

Test Scores Earn Snow Day

Feb. 23, 2010 - El Modena’s recent CELDT scores are in and our students did a phenomenal job!

Compared to last year’s results, nearly 50% more students gained one or more proficiency levels on this year’s exam.

As a reward for their tremendous efforts, 163 students were given the opportunity to go to Big Bear, Calif., and learn first-hand what a “snow day” is all about.

The fieldtrip included a delicious pancake breakfast provided by our own cafeteria staff and a visit to Alpine Slide at Magic Mountain, where our Vanguards took part in some intense inner tubing. As the pictures attest, a great time was had by all!.
