Congrats to the Hoover Football Team for their big win over Glendale High, where the Bell will stay at its rightful place at Hoover!!! 

Last Monday, 60 Hoover students went on a field trip to The American French Film Festival at the Directors Guild of America on Sunset Boulevard to watch, the premier of the new movie adaptation of "The Count of Monte-Cristo" from French writer Alexandre Dumas. Our students had the privilege to be part of the first screening of the movie in the US, and they had the chance to be part of a Q&A session, organized by the AATF (American Association of Teachers of French), with one of the lead actors, a screenwriter and the director of the movie. It was an awesome experience!
