July Team Note

Welcome to the first issue of Crown City Magazine, July 2018!

Coronado is an extremely unique place with lots of amazing stories, many of which haven’t been told yet. It is our commitment to find those stories, and share them with you.

The members of our team all have fond memories of lazy summer days on Coronado beaches, past and present. Summertime means school is in the rear-view mirror, the kids are home, and there’s more time to hang out. There’s no better place to spend your summer days than Coronado.

Islanders come home from across the country, and even the world for the 4th of July. It’s a time to reunite with fellow Coronado High School grads through the years. Special reunions are held for those celebrating milestones of 10, 20, 30, 40, and even 50-years. And for CHS graduates in-between those milestone years gather together for the All-Class Reunion on the night of July 3rd at the Coronado Golf Course, an amazing opportunity for everyone to see old friends.
