“This isthe time ofyear wepromote thecollegeapplicationprocess, andweconductedthe Pre-

MODEL OF ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE

FIRST EMPLOYEE RECOGNIZED

At the 13th Annual Riverside County Education

Summit, the Asset-Building, Results-Based Campus

Supervision model at North Mountain Middle School

received a Models of Academic Excellence award. The

NMMS program allows the school’s campus security

team to successfully impose school rules and district

policies that students believe to be unfavorable while

still maintaining a positive student-centered

environment and a presence that is approachable. By

utilizing the 40 Developmental Assets framework to

encourage behavior conducive to a positive learning

environment, the team works collaboratively to identify

every available avenue to impact students with positive

reinforcement and affirmation.

Personnel Services has implemented a new item on the updated SJUSD website to recognize

employees for a job well done. The email message drop box is an opportunity for anyone to share

how a staff member made a difference, with public recognition to be made at an upcoming site or

district meeting.

The first staff member to be recognized from this new feature is San Jacinto High School

Assistant Principal Sandra “Ahumada” Penaloza, a 1991 SJHS graduate! Parent Heather Ibarra

said in her nomination, “I was completely at ease after hearing Mrs. Penaloza speak to the

freshman families and students the evening we went to pick up the new schedule. I was happy to

hear my goals and concerns for my son as a parent are the same goals the administrators and staff have implemented for

their students at SJHS.” Congratulations, Mrs. Penaloza, as our first KUDOs recipient through this new website feature!

Drama Teacher Sharon Zielasko is beaming with pride for

her theater set crews with their recent awards from the 2015

ScenoGraphics Competition with entries from the productions

of Guys and Dolls and Up the Down Staircase. “We are one of

three schools nation-wide to earn awards for two plays, same

competition, in the top 16 of the nation,” says Mrs. Zielasko,

“and the only one on the west coast with this honor.” The

competition is directed at high schools who use

ScenoGraphics’ professionally drawn plans to build, decorate

and dress their sets for theatrical productions. Photos are

submitted to the company and professional set designers

evaluate and select 16 schools from across the nation for

ranking. The set for Guys and Dolls earned a 1st place

ranking and the set from Up the Down Staircase earned 4th

place.

JERRY DANIEL

CLASS OF 1958

Jerry Daniel arrived in San Jacinto at the ageof 5, when his father, Taylor Daniel andmother, Margret moved from Oklahoma. Jerrygraduated from San Jacinto High School in1958 where he excelled athletically, playing

football and baseball. Upon graduation of high school, Jerryhad opportunity to play football at Orange Coast College,however injury ended his very short playing career at OCC.Jerry started his professional career with Southern CaliforniaEdison and soon married his high school sweetheart and SJHShomecoming queen, Betty Gadberry Daniel.

Jerry was a true champion for youth sports, and demonstrateda passion for coaching and mentoring young people into fivedifferent decades. After his playing career ended, Jerrypursued his coaching career, beginning in the early 60s,working with a variety of programs. Starting with theUniversity of California Riverside and Mt. San JacintoCollege, he was one of the early pioneers of the Hemet JuniorAll American youth program. It was the strong connections inthe San Jacinto valley and the passion to influence youngpeople that drove Jerry’s volunteerism. In 1978, Jerry alongwith other SJHS alumni came back to San Jacinto to resurrectthe traditions at San Jacinto High School by joining the varsitystaff under head coach Steve Hackett. Jerry coached theoffensive and defensive line for Coach Hackett, and thenCoach Neil Skarin, until 1985 when he temporarily hung uphis coaching whistle to watch his sons, Tim and Darren playhigh school and college football. In 1999 Jerry joined theWest Valley High School staff to seize an opportunity tocoach along the side of his son Tim. In 2001, Jerry movedover to Paloma Valley High School, to coach along the side ofhis younger son Darren. Regardless of age, Jerry was a manwho understood kids and the value of mentorship andmotivation. He used football as the platform to teach youngpeople the lessons and value of teamwork and life. Jerry had apassion for coaching, but his influence and desire to besignificant in a young man’s life was really what moved him.Vince Lombardi coined the phrase, “Individual commitment toa group effort – that is what makes a team work, a companywork, a society work, a civilization work.” Jerry fondly usedthis phase with all kids he taught.

Regardless the program, Jerry’s prideful allegiance to SanJacinto High School was unwavering. Upon his finalretirement from coaching in 2002, Jerry found time to comeback to San Jacinto. On any given Friday night, Jerry could befound in the stands supporting the Tigers. He became active inthe San Jacinto Alumni Foundation in 2004, because hewanted to hold the spotlight for the deserving alumni thatmade this high school and valley very special.

Incentive funds through a program supported by Eastern Municipal Water District were

received to remove non-functional turf from the campuses at Estudillo Elementary, Record

Elementary and the San Jacinto Leadership Academy and replace the turf with zero–scape or

drought-tolerant plants landscaping. The Facilities & Operations Department led by Director

Michael Collins, is in the process of awarding contracts to complete the work at these sites,

while district staff continues to monitor and reduce overall irrigation use at all campuses.

New signs are being placed in areas where the turf is ‘turning golden’ just prior to removal

for the new landscaping work.
