We are excited to start back up our 11th Grade Mentoring Program for the 2021-22 School Year! In this program, all 11th graders will have the opportunity to be matched to an industry community volunteer mentor who will meet with them monthly on campus during the school day to discuss important topics such as goal-setting, future planning, resumes and interview skills and more. We are always looking for quality volunteers from the community to be mentors in our program. Parents - if you or someone in your network would be an amazing mentor, please get the word out and consider signing up today! More about our CHS Mentor Program and Mentor Program Application can be found on our website at https://clairemont.sandiegounified.org/industry_partners/mentor_program. Registration is now open and the deadline to apply is October 7. Mentor Meetings officially begin on October 14, 2021!

Hi Clairemont ! My name is Jason Payne and I’d like to introduce myself as the Clairemont High School Foundation president for the ’21-’22 school year. I grew up and went to college in Washington state, and have been living in San Diego and working in the biotech industry for 22 years. Our daughter will be a senior this year at CHS (what?). In addition to being involved in the Foundation for a couple years, I have enjoyed going to CHS theatre productions, football games, basketball games, and even a couple badminton matches! I was also involved in the mentoring program two years ago, which is a great way for juniors to be exposed to the “real world”. I have some big shoes to fill, as Colleen Kleege and the board have done a great job the last several years. Luckily, we still have a great team of parents, including past board members. We communicate frequently with Principal Williams and staff to see what is needed. I hope to meet some of you freshman parents at the August 25th event. Also, we are going to host a happy hour at Fast times on Sept 14th. More details will be available on the web site linked below. The Foundation is a nonprofit (meaning your donations are tax deductible!), and supports all things CHS: clubs, sports, scholarships, staff appreciation, alumni, and whatever you can think of. Another example is the senior yard signs you have seen around town. Since you are reading this, I will go ahead and ask: would you check out our web site, and be able to donate a few dollars to the Foundation (see PayPal button)? If you are not ready for that, would you add Clairemont High School Foundation to your Amazon Smile account? The web site has other useful info, such as meeting information (open to all), the football sunset dinner fundraiser coming up Sat 14 Aug, and tickets for the ’60-’61 reunion in October: CHSfoundation.info This is a community effort. If you would like to help, sign up on our volunteer page and we will let you know when opportunities arise. If you have special skills (photography, catering, contacts for silent auction items, etc.) or particular passions you may add that to the comments section: Volunteer Opportunities Thank You and Go Chiefs!
