Attended by 241 of the 332 students enrolled, the highly sought after "Spirit Stick" was won by the seniors, even though every class had high enthusiasm and cheering power. Planned by students for students, ASB is already planning a spring rally.

Congratulations to Junior Christopher Crawford and Senior Meziah Cristobal! They both received Third Place awards in the annual High School Journalism Contest sponsored by The Record. Meziah placed for page layout, while Christopher placed for criticism/review writing. For full details, visit this Stockton Record article.

Incoming freshmen participated in their first high school orientation at SECA's new location on Aug. 9. During the morning, students participated in a four-hour Point Break outreach workshop, where they played games, did anti-bullying activities, and large and small group teambuilding exercises. Students were impacted by the activities that caused self-reflection and a sharing of emotions. Several reported out in their group summary that they are glad to realize how much they have in common with their peers. We can't wait to start classes on Monday, Aug. 13!

SECA Physics Club sponsored a trip to Six Flags on May 25th, 2012.  While riding rollercoasters and flume rides, students learned about principles such as potential energy, kinetic energy, centripetal acceleration, instantaneous velocity, vertical acceleration, lateral acceleration, momentum, and g force.  Who would have thought science could be so much fun?

To show that force is distributed evenly across an increased surface area, Mr. Eayrs' physics class constructed a bed of nails and put it on display in the cafeteria at lunch on Monday October, 3rd.  The bed measures 2’x6’ and contains 1633 nails.  It took roughly 4 weeks to build.  Those who were brave got to try it out....

The SECA Potential Enrollment Packet (PEP) is now available.  We will be reviewing applications beginning December 1, 2012 for the 2013-14 school year.  Students interested must complete the Application Checklist , SECA PEP , College Early Start Application, and Board of Governors Fee Waiver.  Complete everything on the checklist and return your completed materials to the SECA office.
