Under the expert guidance of our Associated Student Body Advisor, Mr. Matthew Melancon, our Leadership students recently helped out some struggling students in Zambia, a country in Southeast Africa. Our students sent them T-shirts in January. For many of these children, it was the first new article of clothing they had received in years. The children in Zambia were assisted by Mr. Melancon's nephew, Michael Meza, during his two-year service in the Peace Corps. He helped them build a school house, which has become the community center for their small, isolated village. Their little village lacks roads, plumbing, and electricity. The building of the school required some cash, so Mr. Melancon's wife, Nancy Gump of Andy Gump Inc, raised $5,000 and donated it to the village. When the school/community center was completed in May of 2018, the Zambian students wore their Sylmar Charter High School T-shirts. As you can see, we all accomplish great things on a global scale here at Sylmar Charter High School!

Thomas Edison was spot on: "Good fortune is what happens when opportunity meets with planning.” In light of Edison's wise words, and in a concerted effort to organize our school for success, we have developed a tentative 2018-2019 academic calendar. This calendar was fully approved by the School Leadership Council on 05.15.2018. It is certainly not immutable, since it is always subject to revisions and modifications, but it will serve as a guide as you navigate through your planning sessions. To access the new bell schedule, simply click on the headline.
