Varsity Improv show this week

Cheer for Falcon football this Friday at DVC
Come out and cheer on the Diablo Valley Athletic League champion College Park Falcons  this Friday, November 18, at 7:00pm as they take on American High School in the first round of the NCS play-offs. The game will be at DVC under the lights. 
Avoid the ticket rush by buying your tickets in advance at CPHS.  Adults are $9.00, everyone else is $6.00.  For every advance $9.00 ticket purchased, $1.00 goes back to the football program.  All $6.00 tickets give us back $.50.  This will help to cover the cost of using DVC for this game.   Please avoid the line on game night and buy your tickets early.  They will be on sale during lunch and after school today through Friday in the Student Store on campus. Cash only for any ticket. 
This will be a great game and we look forward to seeing stands packed for this big CPHS football victory.

But hurry! All items remaining in the Lost & Found on Nov. 18 will be donated to Goodwill during Thanksgiving Break.
