Cienega High School

For the past few years The National High Strength Coaches Association (NHSSCA) has been awarding All American Student Athletes. This year Coach Schween nominated the maximum 2 male athletes and 2 female athletes. All four were awarded All American status! To be considered these athletes must meet at least 3 of the 4 performance numbers for Bench Press-Squat-Deadlift and Power Clean as well as 2 of the 3 from Vertical-40 yard dash and Pro Agility. Beside their performance numbers their GPA, school commitments and leadership roles play a part. Please help us recognize Ben Kmak, Randy Carrillo, Jennis Groves and Honor Allen as NHSSCA All Americans. WAY TO GO CATS!

Friday, a U.S. Air Force UH-1 Huey landed here on campus! It took 25 NJROTC Cadets on 15 minute familiarization flights. The helicopter visit is part of the U.S. Air Force Aviation Mentorship Program and Project Tuskegee. The purpose of these USAF programs is to promote diversity and inspire future generations. Such a unique opportunity for our Cadets!

We will have an exciting opportunity for our students this Friday, April 28th. The 37th Helicopter Squadron will land a UH-1 "Huey" helicopter on the back fields of our campus. Students and staff will be able to tour the helicopter from 12:30pm-2:30pm. The goal is to highlight the Air Force crew's engagement with the students and faculty as part of Aviation Inspiration Mentorship and Project Tuskegee to promote diversity and inspire future generations. Some of our NJROTC Cadets will get to experience flights in the helicopter throughout the day. We ask that the surrounding neighborhoods of our campus not be alarmed and we apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. Thank you and have a beautiful day!
