The Accolade – The Student News Site of Sunny Hills High School

Notice from the Editor

Hello, reader! My name is Andrew Ngo, the web editor-in-chief of The Accolade for the 2020-2021 school year. You may notice that the website is looking different—that's because we're renovating the site with a new web host. Although the look of the website may change on a day-to-day basis, all of our stories from the 2019-2020 school year are still available for your reading pleasure, and once school resumes on Aug. 11, we will resume publishing new stories. In the meantime, please stay safe, and we cannot wait to see you all again in the fall.

Junior Hope Li (center) gets her friends in her sixth period Honors Chemistry class to hold up their fingers to signify the number 133 on the 133rd day of school March 13, in Room 112. Li started collecting images of a tally of each day of the school year as a time capsule project at the start of the 2019-2020 school year. Despite school closure because of the coronavirus pandemic announced that day, she has continued with it through the last day of the spring semester.

Students enrolled in summer school starting next Monday, June 1, will need to continue to rely on their electronic devices and internet access at home as Sunny Hills will continue to provide instruction through distance learning. One change is incoming freshmen will not be allowed to enroll in health since students are still not allowed to come to campus for classes or to pick up school-issued chromebooks.
