A new school year with renewed interest in Academics ,W ff rrr imin for academic excellence, Dia- Q 5 mond Bar High School continually em- phasized the importance of academics. Grade Level Coordinator Kris Davis said, The trend lin eiducatiog is continuing the heavy atten- tion p ace on aca emics. Senior Lisa Iacobellis said, I think our academics are very strong. We're more motivated than a lot of other Fchocpls, which is very important in the suc- cesso stu ents. Diamond Bar's Booster Club not only supported athletics, but academics as well. Forty S1000 scholarships were awarded to members of the Class og '86 sahowing the Bopstelr qlub's commitment to t eaca emic as ectso sc oo. The Academillz Decathlon held on November 15 in Torrance at West High School was the culmina- tion of man lon hours of study ut in over the summer and, in tie beginning o tlhe year by the team's ten members. Under the guidance of coaches Mrs. Brown and Mrs. Staroscik, the team competed against some of the state's most com- petitive teams such as Beverly Hills High School. Academics was also the focus as DBHS hosted the WalnutfDiamond Bar College night in the g m. Many colleges frorg California and the surrounding area came to istri ute iterature. However, some students felt, more attention should be placed on academics. Senior Sheri Nelson said, I think the school is ood in academics, but we could be better in acacazmics if so much stress was not put on extracurricular activities. Diamond Bar High School, while havin proven its academic abilities, will continue establishing a reputation of academic excellence as the school grows. Iunior Araxi Kitsinian said, I think that people who attend this school don't realize how ucky they are.
