From Alaska to Idaho to just across the bay, Alumni from all around the country traveled to San Mateo last week to celebrate Aragon’s 50th Anniversary. The attendants ranged from recent graduates to members of the first graduating class.
The Red Cross Club, a humanitarian group dedicated to raising awareness to better the local and global community, kicked off the year with a cell phone drive, sponsored by HopeLine from Verizon Wireless.
Take a look of Aragon from 1961 to now!
In the 1990’s and early part of the new millennium, the Aragon Football Team, led by Coach Steve Sell, was the bully of the Peninsula Athletic League. With their smash mouth approach, they routinely won PAL Bay Division Titles leading to deep runs into the CCS playoffs.
Due to construction of the new science wing, Zolman Construction and Development Inc. is occupying an estimated 50 parking spots as space for offices and building material storage. The few remaining spots have been allotted to only a handful of seniors while juniors have been excluded entirely.
With another entering class of freshmen, Aragon has been taking steps this year to ease their transition into high school. Amongst these initiatives are the controversial freshmen treats, additional support classes, and a newly implemented “band buddies” program.
