Principal’s Message:
At Hoover we encourage all of our students to “Dream Big, Achieve More!”
I encourage all of our students to strive to do their very best everyday, build lasting relationships, and be engaged in all activities.
At Hoover we believe all students should be respectful, responsible, and engaged everyday! Students are expected to be in class on time everyday and follow our cell phone and electronics policy. Violations of these policies will lead to consequences.
At Hoover, we continue to promote a College-Going Culture. Our mission is to ensure that all students graduate meeting the minimum requirements for college access. This will be accomplished through increasing access to rigorous course offerings and promoting academic engagement.
Our Fall Athletics Season is in full effect. Please continue to support our Hoover Fall Athletic Teams- Football, Boys Waterpolo, Girls Tennis, Girls Volleyball, Girls Golf, and Cross Country. Additionally, our Hoover Marching Band and Pep Teams are in season!!
Our Hoover Boys Waterpolo Team will host the first round of playoffs this Thursday, October 30, at 5:00 PM, against Burbank!! Come out to our new Hoover Pool to support our boys!!
This week is our annual BGD (Beat Glendale Day) Week, kicking off with our traditional class poster drop on Monday, a night rally on Wednesday from 6:30-8:30, and our Day rally and BGD game on Thursday! Go Tornados!
Attendance continues to be a focus at Hoover. Please ensure your child is at school everyday. We are also prioritizing students being in class on time and are conducting daily tardy sweeps to ensure students are in class from bell to bell.
As a reminder to all students and families, at Hoover we promote a safe and inclusive environment for all students and staff. We have no tolerance for any hate speech or hurtful language. Any students using such language will receive serious consequences.
As always, Tornados are Responsible, Respectful, and Engaged!

Streets, Art, SAFE
Streets, Art, SAFE is an exciting program that challenges high school students to use film, posters, and visual storytelling to educate their peers about traffic safety. It’s more than a competition—it’s a chance for young voices to lead change, inspire safer communities, and shine on a public stage. Along the way, students gain real-world skills in media, design, and visual communication—skills that look amazing on college and career applications.
