The end of the year is quickly approaching. On

their efforts at Esperanza over the last four years.
We awarded approximately 85 seniors with
scholarships which totaled $2,544,368. The
class of 2011 has the following stats: 165 CSU,
101 UC, 138 Private or out of state, 52% 4yr
school, 44% 2yr school/trade school, 96% total
college, 2% military. With approximately 780 seniors graduating on
Wednesday, June 15th at Bradford Stadium they have a lot to look
forward to in the weeks to come. Senior week activities start Monday, June 13th with the seniors going to Disneyland and Tuesday,
June 14th is the senior breakfast and cap and gown distribution. We
are so proud of this senior class and we wish them the best of luck
in the future.
There are many other things taking place at Esperanza. We just
had our Distinguished Scholar luncheon on May 25th for all the in
9th- 12th grades who are on track to graduate with this recognition.
We have a new online school store at www.b1selfshop.com/ezhs
where Esperanza receives 20% from every purchase. Construction
is still progressing on the gym, front office, and music rooms. We
are looking for these rooms to be completed by the beginning of
the school year or shortly there after. Finally we have a 2011-2012
school calendar, this can be accessed on the Placentia –Yorba

Well, I can say that this year has truly gone by fast. I guess that is usually the case when you have a Senior and you are
reviewing the entire four years that you have spent at one school. All of the memories, friendships and wonderful things
that go along with High School are all relived again upon graduation when you realize this wonderful chapter of your
child’s life is coming to a close! My time here at Esperanza has been fantastic. I did not have any experience with the
public school system since my child came to Esperanza from a private school. But, I must say that I am “sold” on Esperanza and on our school district. There are so many great things about Esperanza. There is something here for every
student whether you are an academic achiever, a creative or artistic student or an athlete! Clearly, one of the most rewarding things for me about the last four years was getting involved with the PTSA. For me, it was a way to
“understand” the school and to give back, but I in turn gained so much more…friendships, wonderful experiences and
involvement in bringing programs and events to support our Esperanza students and community.
With this, I thank you for letting me serve as your 2010-2011 PTSA President. I will miss this school, but will really
always be here to support, cheer-on and promote the greatness of Esperanza!
Sincerely,
Sondia Buscaino
PTSA President

Esperanza PTSA Creative Arts Awards
A special thanks to Sandee Van Oyen for chairing this program and awards night
and submitting this article.
On Monday, March 28th, the Esperanza High School library was transformed into an art gallery for the 4th Annual PTSA Creative Arts
and Reflections Award Ceremony. This program was developed to recognize and honor the artistic talents of Esperanza students.
The parents, students, teachers and members of the community in attendance enjoyed an exhibit of over 200 Visual and Language
Arts pieces. Members of the EHS Orchestra, Stephanie Shin, Justina Wong, Kyle Bague, and Connor Bogenreif, performed a
selection of pieces as the guests arrived. We would like to thank Kay Crask and her students for providing this special touch to our
evening. A reading of the “First Place” and “Best of Division” entries in the Language Arts division and a power-point presentation
featuring all the winning Visual Arts pieces were included in the ceremony. 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place students were awarded ribbons
and cash prizes and all entrants received certificates of participation. Projects that placed in the PTSA Reflections program were also
showcased, with entries from the Visual Arts, Photography, and Musical Composition on display for all to enjoy.
The Visual Arts “Best of Division” award went to Ruba Nawfal, for her piece entitled “Smile”. Krystal Rankin was honored with the
Language Arts “Best of Division” award for her short story entitled “Bloody Palms”. Following the ceremony, a recording of the EHS
Jazz Ensemble entertained guests as they enjoyed a light reception and admired the art.

The Distinguished Aztecs Academic Recognition ceremony was held
May 16 at the Vineyard in Anaheim. 180 fantastic students were honored for carrying a 4.0 or better. The Distinguished Aztecs Academic
Recognition is a program that was established by the PTSA of Esperanza to recognize the top scholars of the year. Each spring, the administration submits names of honorees to the PTSA. The criteria used for
selection is based on a 4.0 or better grade point average or weighted
4.0 grade point average for those involved in honors or AP (Advanced
Placement) classes. Seniors were celebrated based on their cumulative
grade point average for their three and a half years at Esperanza. It was
very exciting to hear about the accomplishments of the seniors and the
universities and colleges that they have chosen. Special thank you to
the EHS counselors and administration, Cindee Toy, Nadine Elwood,
Cheryl Heller, Caroline Walhstrom and Sondia Buscaino.
National Honor Society-advisor-Michael Fenton- recognized their seniors graduating with honors too. The function of the National Honor
Society is to develop character, scholarship, service, and leadership in
students to promote lifelong learning and community involvement. Enrollment in the program is based upon maintaining a 3.50 unweighted
GPA and completion of 32 hours of designated community service.
The end of May brought a luncheon for Dr. Fox’s new Distinguished
Scholar Program, a one-of-a kind program in the district founded at
Esperanza. This program-rich in AP rigor-is designed for the most academic student-meant to challenge the best students and to prepare
them for the university. Dr. Fox treated the scholars in grades 9-12 to a
luncheon and thanked them for their work and dedication. Seniors will
wear distinct colored gowns at graduation to draw attention to this great
feat.
