In the 2006-2007 school year, the Titans are 4-2, having beat Leto High School 20-0, Sickles High School 47-0 and Freedom High School 19-0. In a surprising turn of events, the Titans lost to Spoto High School 21-18 on September 28. On October 5, the Titans played Armwood High School where they lost 26-0. The Titans won their first homecoming game in 4 years against Lennard high school sporting a 35-10 victory. The Titans finished with a record of 6-5.

[edit] Academy of Health

The Health program is broken up into several fields during all years of attending, depending on the specialty, such as Radiology, Physical Therapy/Occupational Therapy, Veterinary Assistant, Medical Laboratory, Pharmacy, Vision Specialist, Dental Care, CNA, and LPN (nursing). The LPN program requires a great deal more study than any other program, and for this reason chooses its members much sooner than any other program. Students choose which field they desire to move into and apply to these programs. The specialty has the option of refusing any student, however most students are placed in the field they desire.

The Academy of Health teachers include:

• Mary Ellen Rossberg
• Ida McCray
• Heather Carr
• Evelyn Law
• Lindsay Eagle
• Jeanette Decharo
• Elizabeth A. Campbell

[edit] Academy of Architecture

The Academy of Architecture has classes in two separate rooms, each a fully-functioning lab. The students learn fundamental skills about the architecture field and practice computer-aided design as well as manual drafting. Students enter several contests throughout the year e.g. a local drafting and design competition at the Strawberry Festival, national drafting and design competitions with SkillsUSA, and the West Point Bridge Design Contest. Drafting 1 & 2 are currently taught by Ronald Brill. Drafting 3-6 are under the instruction of David Carrier.
