Last year when Carson High School split into three different schools, and affected our school’s social atmosphere separated and also took our pride for Carson High Complex.
Last year when Carson High School split into three different schools, and affected our school’s social atmosphere separated and also took our pride for Carson High Complex.
Since each school has a different curriculum, there is a great
difference in classes and school activities. For AMA, there was the success of
Salon, an interdisciplinary project sophomores worked on by in the form of
skits, that left students trending the all-known hashtag, #AMAzing. AEE has
many field trips including beach trips that determine which grade level has the
most school spirit all added up into class points. CHS has three separate
academies of ESET, PAMA, and GBLG where certain academies have different
opportunities than others. With all of these activities, students carry more
pride for their own school than for Carson High Complex.
All that pride can create a feeling of power which can sometimes get out of hand. For example, strong rivalries can break out between students of different schools as to which school is the “best.” Yet, we all attend same Complex.

The new school transformation strained many relationships. I had
many friends from AMA; but being in CHS, I witnessed and experienced relationships
between close friends drift apart and new ones began to take their place. What
was once considered as close friends are nothing more than acquaintances now.
That is really too bad, as an alumni from the 70's we know what CHS is missing today! I am personally hoping that the 50th celebration motivated and inspired any of the students that observed 10/5's other alumni. That you make it a commitment to stay in touch with each other. The success of reunions and celebration are in the efforts of your communication today even if you are divided by classroom walls and not to forget Colt Pride and Colt Love remain the tradition of CHS. - Nini de la Vega/Chairperson 50th Anniversary Celebration Committee.
