The Whittier High School Wrestling program helped us kick off our first meeting of the New Year. Coach Rich and Coach Darren gave us an update on the team and its outlook for the season.
Highlighting the visit was Zoey Zuniga. The 3rd Year Varsity Girls wrestler has helped grow the team since she joined as a Sophomore. She’s off to a good start this year with a record of 10-2. The dual athlete also shares her talents on the girls Flag Football team.

This picture was sent in by Robert Cammarata from @calhighcondors Rob is the Director of the Performance Club at Cal High School. He submitted a Grant Request to the Whittier Host Lions Club Youth Committee on behalf of the students that make up the club.
They were in need of funds to purchase a new Drum Set for their Lunch Time Music Performances. Here are some of the kids jamming on lunch time with the new White Drum set that your WHL were able to help purchase.
This is what the Whittier Host Lions are all about. We are here for the youth, the elderly and those in need.
Each year 100% of the money raised by the Lions goes right back into the community in the form of grants, scholarships and donations.
Rock On Cal High 😎
