Serra Athletic Director Season Wrap-up 


Serra Athletics started in August and has just finished the fall season.  The fall season was exciting with all of the teams doing very well and all of the varsity teams making the CIF Play-offs again this year (Girls Tennis, Field Hockey, Girls Volleyball, Cross Country, Football, Boys Water Polo).  Serra High grabbed 3 League Titles (Football, Water Polo, Field Hockey) and 2 CIF Titles (Field Hockey and Boys Water Polo).  Congratulations to individuals in the sports of Cross Country (Anthony Masayesva, Brian Masayesva, Shayn Lozano, Austin Corvo, Marc Lewis Ricardo Obeso, David Ekelund, Max Turnberg, Jacob Harrison, Madalynn Amos, Audrey Bell, Laura Cassin, Victoria Davis, Emma Krikorian, Sarah Spangle, Gaby Von Borstel, Perla Tapia, Ally Harvey, Mireya Zuniga) and Girls Tennis (Cassidy Ferrell, Karina Chamberlain, Joanna Rodriguez, Olivia Gesikowski, & Julia Nguyen)  for making the CIF Playoffs.  In Girls Tennis the doubles team of Karina Chamberlain/Joanna Rodriguez made it to the the third round of CIF.  In Cross Country Anthony Masayesva made it all the way to the CIF State Championships and out of 184 runners he placed 21st.   I would like to congratulate all of the athletes and coaching staffs on a wonderful and exciting season.  All of you represented yourselves, family, team, school and community with the pride of the Brown and Gold.  Thank you for a great season and a great way to start the school year off.  I would also like to thank the Serra Marching Band, Color Guard, Cheer, and NJROTC for performing at all the football games and supporting the team throughout the season.  A special thanks to all the parents, fans and community who bleed the Brown and Gold and support the programs.
Please look for the 112 Serra Student-Athletes who made the UT All Academic Teams in an upcoming addition of the Union Tribune.  These Student-Athletes are Juniors and Seniors of a Varsity Team who have a 3.0 or higher cumulative weighted GPA. 

We now move into the Winter Season of Sport.   Thank you to all the athletes who participated in try-outs.  Please go to the school website for schedules and a daily calendar of events.  I anticipate a great winter season with our teams who are already off to a great start in all of the sports (Wrestling, Girls Water Polo, Boys and Girls Basketball, Boys and Girls Soccer).  

Come out to a game!   “IT’S ALL ABOUT THE BROWN AND GOLD” 
Go Conquistadors!

Thank you   
Coach Pisapia, Athletic Director


Dance Dress Code

Please remember the dance dress code for all female attendees before purchasing your dress. Dresses must be at least finger-tip length, no spandex, and naturally flowing. Dresses may not be backless below the bra line or have side cut-outs. Front slits must be fingertip length or lower. Thank you for ensuring an elegant and tasteful dance for all.

Serra High School Girls JV Soccer Team Won the 2012/2013 Baron's Tournament.  They are the Undefeated Champions,  Congratulations Ladies !!!

From The Attendance Office:
To all parents - If your student is transferring from Serra High School, please notify the school at least one week before the last day of attendance.
At that time we will provide you with information as to what you will need for that last day.  This will ensure a smoother transition for your student.  Thank you
 
Parents:  Student contracts are available if your student will be absent five school days or more.  Please be sure to notify the attendance office a minimum of one week in advance of the absence and request the contracts.
This will ensure the teachers have plenty of time to prepare the school work your student will need while he or she is out. 
 
This will ensure that you student does not have any “unexcused” absences. Going out of town is not an “excused” absence.
Thank you for your cooperation.
