Golden Diploma & Robotics

GOLDEN DIPLOMA Class of 1969

In keeping with our annual traditions, Cathedral High School honored our graduates from the Class of 1969. On Thursday, November 1st, the Class of 1969 attended All Saints Day mass with our student body and received their golden diplomas at the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels. It is a wonderful occasion for our alumni, and it provided a meaningful connection to our current students. Cathedral is blessed to have a great tradition and the Golden Diploma mass continues this heritage. The day ended with a luncheon at the San Antonio Winery. Congratulations to the Class of 1969 on their achievement! ROBOTICS A New Venture

In our inaugural year, Cathedral High School’s Robotics Team rose to the challenge and qualified for the National Championship. On Sunday, March 5, 2020 our rookie team #8006 won two awards at the Del Mar Regional Competition. After months of planning and hard work, our boys took the Highest Ranked Rookie Award and the Rookie All Star Award. The latter extended our season allowing us to participate at the next level, the “First National Championship’’ event. Unfortunately, as a result of COVID-19 restrictions, our students were unable to attend. Over the years, the number of graduating seniors entering into nationally ranked Engineering programs continues to increase. Last year, Cathedral invested $10,000 into the program and we are witnessing the benefits. This year, the robotics class will be taught by David Galaz ’85 and the club will be mentored by Anthony Trafecanty ‘80. The students themselves will be responsible for a business plan, including fundraising and expenditures. We look forward to growing the program and

expanding our student’s opportunities.
