Century Senior Overall High School Winner at Litcon
Jackline Tello, a senior at Century High School in Santa Ana, entered SAUSD’s first literary arts competition, LitCon, and was the overall high school winner for her piece of prose, “A Story.” She and other student finalists read their work at the Frida Theater as part of Boca de Oro. “My teacher told me about [LitCon], and I thought, ‘Why not? It’s my last year here, I’ll go do something,’ ” Tello, 17, said. She had previously tried creative writing in her classes, but the Boca de Oro festival marked the first time that she shared her work in public. “I think it’s inspiring to know that there’s a community of other writers and artists here that you can reach out to for support,” Tello said. “And for the artists, they can come here and show what they have, so they can have a bigger audience.” When asked about whether she will pursue writing once she graduates this spring, Tello said that she’s considering it. “It’s one of those things where I’m like, ‘I could do this,’ ” she said. “I have a bunch of interests, and this is one of them.” As printed in LA TImes, Daily Pilot by ALIESE MUHONEN.

Dear Centurions,
As we move into the 2022-2023 school year, I am excited to share with you our focus at Century High School - meeting the needs of all students. My goal is to ensure safety and academic success for all students. Century High School has a great team of administrators, teachers and staff who are willing and ready to do whatever it takes to help students succeed.
I am looking forward to providing parents and students many opportunities to learn about resources being offered in school. We hope you can take some time in your busy schedule to interact with us via social media, come meet with our counselors and teachers, and most importantly, engage in many of our meetings and be part of the decision making process.
One piece of advice for all students! Get involved in learning regardless if it’s a sport or a club or a tutoring center after school. It is always good to extend your learning opportunities!
Please know that our administrative team, teachers, counselors and staff are here to make sure every student is successful. More than anything, I wish you a school year of success.
Commitment - Honor - Success
