Students locked out
Many people have experienced the disheartening event of going to use the bathroom, tugging at the door and then realizing they can’t get in because it’s locked.
As most have come to learn the U hall, F hall and a few other bathrooms around campus have been locked throughout the day.
While it is hard to say exactly what is been going on in each bathrooms there are a few theories.
Using the school bathrooms as a meeting place to smoke, or do drugs, or graffiti, or just get out of class with friends is not uncommon at Carlmont.

Emma Lin – Publicity-Class of 2015

Say hello to Ms. Gleaton: Carlmont’s newest principal
Lisa Gleaton beamed brightly as she was announced to be the new principal of Carlmont High School.
As Jim Lianides, Superintendent of Sequoia Union High School District, proclaimed Ms. Gleaton as the principal, he said “it was very obvious to us that Lisa is capable of taking Carlmont forward with her vision and leadership skills.”
The board voted Gleaton to be principal in a “unanimous vote,” confirmed board president Chris Thomsen.
Gleaton was chosen out of a pool of 45 applicants. All of the applicants first went through an intensive interview process where they were interviewed by 12 Sequoia staff members and parents.
Class difficulty: not easy to rank
Throughout Carlmont, many people have been taught that the two hardest classes in the school are AP Biology and AP U.S. History.
Although these classes are extremely difficult for most students, many students believe that these two classes are among a group of extremely challenging classes, but it would be unfair so say that they are the two hardest classes.
Junior Stefan Dismond said, “I think that people commonly confuse things that are time consuming and things that are hard.”
Some classes are more time consuming and require the students to complete a lot of homework, where others require for the students to complete less homework as long as the students understand the concepts.

Carlmont Prom Competition ignites creativity
Prom season is almost in full swing at Carlmont: along with it comes the discussion of dresses, makeup, and creative ways that people get asked to prom.
This year, Carlmont ASB has decided to introduce a new incentive to think of a creative way to ask a date to prom: a prom competition.
“We decided to do a prom competition because, for the past few years, people have been really into asking their dates in cute ways, and we thought it was a clever way to encourage people to have fun and go to prom,” said Monica Chin.
