5. Enjoy Campus!
Qhhs has a beautiful campus, especially when there aren’t many people there, so I’d Recommend staying after school to enjoy campus!

4. Attend Games!
QHHS has some great sports teams, with football games, wrestling duels, and basketball games all being a great place to enjoy the rich sports culture that QHHS provides.

3. Participate in Peaceful Protest!
Recently, on February 6th 2025, Quartz Hill High school students organized as a collective group to leave campus and protest against the actions that ICE has been taking as of late. The group of around 200ish students all left at around 10:40 PST, with a majority of the students who walked out going to George Lane Park, then continuing on to 50th and L-8, before returning to George Lane park at around 2:00 in the afternoon. Public reaction to the protest was largely positive, with there being a generally positive atmosphere, save for a few people who decided to take time out of their day and either make obscene gestures towards the mostly teenaged protestors, or actively engaging in hateful speech towards those protesting students. Not cool dude! The students largely understood why they were protesting (thank goodness!). One student who I personally interviewed during the walkout, Sebastean Deplazes, said a couple of choice things about ice. He was very passionate about the whole protest, and he stated that he came out to protest due to “ICE shooting innocent people and deporting people without due process.” Another student, Julian Juarez Figueroa stated that he decided to come out and protest due to, “Trump… is a pedophile, and he’s doing really unjustified stuff that’s trying to be justified, and he’s also justifying … stuff that ICE is doing, and they (ICE) are killing people. ” This marks an important point in Quartz Hill’s history as there has not been a protest where students walk out of the school in such a manner before.

2. Go to class!
Going to class on campus is a great way to learn about the subject that you are taking during that class period!

1- Taker naps on the school benches
The administration doesn’t want you to know this, but if you sleep on the benches around campus, your GPA gets boosted by 1 WHOLE percent. If you don’t believe me, then try it!

Gianna Vilcapoma, Marketing Editor

Hello Royals! My name is Gianna Vilcapoma, and I am a Sophomore. This will be my second year in journalism at QHHS. I look forward to working more with multimedia and learning more about my new position in The Ubiquity as Marketing Editor. This year I have also decided to join the Film Academy, which I hope may expand my understanding of multimedia and help me progress my skills. Journalism has been a really great experience overall. Having past editors and friends help me along the way has truly helped me a lot, and I look forward to helping and hopefully inspiring others the way others have helped me. February 4, 2026 Update So far, so good, I’m still standing. Not much has changed in the past few months; maybe more work and responsibilities since I’m heading into my Junior year of High School. It seems like yesterday I just started freshman year. The thoughts of the future can be overwhelming, so I’m trying to live in the present while I can. I’ve taken up some New Year’s resolutions that have been keeping me motivated. One is being more active, so I am swimming and hope to take on more sports. But now my main focus is studying; those tests aren’t going to pass themselves, but one could hope. Anyway, I won’t keep you long, let’s go ROYALS for the year 2025-2026.
