3 days until our final issue release of the year!!!

Between April 21 and April 25, 2025, DVHS students voted for the 2025-26 ASB and class officers. We asked some of our future presidents, vice presidents and class representatives about their role, what inspired them to run for the role and changes they want to make.

On May 2, 2025, Dougherty Valley’s varsity womens lacrosse team faced a tough 11-16 loss against Dublin High School. That prior Tuesday, they had won their senior night against Livermore High School with a score of 13-6.

During the first half of the game, Dublin was able to take the lead. However, Dougherty made many steals from the other team, and together junior Kaelyn Inokuchi and sophomore Madeline Ho made 4 goals, ending the half with a score of 4-7.

In the second half, the team caught up, with goals from Ho, Inokuchi, sophomore Arushi Gireesha. With three and a half minutes left of the third quarter, sophomore Ria Tandon and junior River Motta made the team’s ninth goal, tying them up with Dublin. The teams continued to score back-to-back goals, but Dublin managed to pull ahead, securing the close win.

This was the team’s last league game of the season. They ended with a solid record, winning six of their eight league games and being ranked second in the East Bay Valley League. They will continue to play in the North Coast Section Championships, with their next game on May 8, 2025.

In the face of ongoing budget cuts within the San Ramon Valley Unified School District (SRVUSD), custodians are bracing for the impact on their workloads and livelihoods. With the district looking to trim staffing in various departments, custodians like Roberto Manrique, head custodian at California High School, and another anonymous custodian from Windemere, are already anticipating the challenges ahead. The cuts not only affect the custodial staff but also impact the students and the overall school environment, highlighting the essential role these workers play in maintaining clean and safe schools.

Due to recent incidents in postseason soccer competitions, North Coast Section (NCS) has placed all DVHS athletic programs on probation for the 2025-26 school year. This probation means that any future unsportsmanlike behaviors from athletes, coaches, and parents could result in team suspension or the inability for DVHS to host NCS post season playoffs.

“Why is she losing so much weight?”
“Something’s clearly wrong with her.”
“No one just looks like that, she’s obviously taking something.”
I’ve seen these phrases repeated over and over again in comment sections, discussion threads and forums all over the internet, usually accompanied by a photo of a celebrity. The celebrity is always very thin, usually a woman and has most likely had some work done in the past (or has been rumored to, which is as good as the real thing in the eyes of public discourse).

In the spring of 2025, DVHS counselors are overseeing course selection for the 2025-2026 school year. As Dougherty students continue to enroll in AP and honors classes, the question emerges of which weighted options they’re choosing, and why? Their choices will shape which classes the school offers, and which classes (even some APs) that aren’t available at all.

At first, it’s just an extra set of hands on the table. Then, a bouquet with a faceless figure standing behind it. Maybe a dinner table set for two, but nobody is visible. Posts like these continuously appear on Instagram feeds as more and more people start to buy into the art of “soft launching,” which involves subtle hints at a relationship through suggestive photos. While these posts can be seen as fun glimpses into the relationship, they tell of a larger issue of commitment that has become prevalent in our generation.

If you’re reading this, chances are that you’re a cheater. Statically speaking, chances are that I am too.

The vast majority of students would tell you that they believe cheating on assignments is wrong and immoral. According to most, they still believe in a system and society that relies on fairness and equity, genuinely believe that cheating is against their principles, and would even judge their classmates if they found out about them cheating on a test. However, a quick look at the numbers can tell us that those same students are almost definitely getting through school by cheating.

“Hey, do you want to hang out?” my friend texts me after our big chemistry test.
“Sure, where?” I ask, waiting for a response, because we’ve collectively exhausted all of San Ramon’s hangout spots, even reaching over to the bowling alley in Pleasanton. Before she sends me the text with possible places, I can already predict what she is going to say. “How about a Taco Bell Run?” My eyes light up with joy as I can see my near future of gobbling down chalupas and scarfing down the rebooted nacho fries, but my stomach groans at the pain it is going to be subjected to for the next few days.
