🗓️ Upcoming Local Events

Today's forecast for Pasadena is partly cloudy skies in the morning with temperatures ranging from 48° to 56°, so a warm jacket would be a good choice.

As we move into the noon hours, the temperature will climb mildly to 57-59° under a partly cloudy sky - a light sweater should suffice.

In the afternoon, the temperature will hold steady at 59° under mostly cloudy skies, so keep that light jacket handy.

The evening will cool down to the mid-50s with cloudy to mostly cloudy skies. A warm jacket is recommended for the evening hours.

Here's to embracing the day, come rain or shine!

Remember, there's no such thing as bad weather, only inappropriate clothing.

Stay warm, stay safe, and make the most of your day, Pasadena!

Pasadena High Soccer Teams Conquer Glendale High, Secure First Place in Pacific League

The Boys and Girls Soccer teams at Pasadena High School demonstrated remarkable skill and teamwork, as they both secured victories over Glendale High School on December 21.

The Boys' Varsity team ended Glendale High's undefeated streak and secured the top spot in the Pacific League standings. Despite the JV team's defeat, the Bulldogs' spirit remained high.

Similarly, the Girls' Soccer teams registered resounding victories, with the Varsity and JV teams winning 8-1 and 6-0, respectively. The entire school community takes immense pride in these victories.

The girls' teams are now preparing for their next match against Crescenta Valley High School on January 9th.

As the saying goes, it's always a great day to be a Bulldog!
