Sunday Message 11/30/25- Welcome Back Tornados!!!

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. 

We hope that your Thanksgiving and Fall Break was restful and filled with memories shared with family and friends! We are in the final stretch of our semester, with the semester ending Thursday, December 18. Finals will take place December 16 and 17. We encourage our Tornados to complete all assignments and ensure that you complete all projects and study for any exams. Tutoring continues each week, along with EO time these next two weeks. Further, we will have Tornado Crunch Time on Thursday, December 11, from 3:30-6:30 on campus where students can receive additional tutoring or come together to complete any final assignments or study. 

Senior families, our Financial Aid Overview will be taking place on December 2nd, from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. in the Student Union. This event is open to all 12th-grade students and families. For more details see the flyer below. Please be sure to register using the link on the flyer or HERE.

Our Winter Athletics Season is in full effect! We encourage all of our students to come out and support our Hoover Boys and Girls Basketball, Boys and Girls Soccer, Wrestling, and Girls Water Polo teams as they compete. Additionally, please continue to support our Hoover PEP and Winter Line teams!

Congratulations to our Hoover Tornado Marching Band who have been crowned champions of Division 3A. They will compete for a chance at a State Title this weekend!! We wish them all the best!!!

Our Hoover Boys Waterpolo Team won their first playoff game this past week and will be competing against Santa Barbara on Tuesday. We wish our Tornados the best of luck!!

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. 

Summer School 2026 Dates are June 15 to July 21 - Please save the summer school dates. Students who earn a D or an F at the end of the semester will have to repeat the class to ensure that they meet the A-G and high school graduation requirements.

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!
