8th grade students had an awesome experience today today at Ishi!
In 2 separate groups, three "CPR With Heart" trainers led our 8th graders through First Aid & CPR training. Students earned their certification at the conclusion of each 3 hour training! Ask your student to see his/her official CPR/First aid card!! 😀
The students were awesome participants! They asked great questions and practiced all skills with focus and diligence.
We are very proud of their work today!!
Many thanks to the trainers and to OCESD for supporting this important training for our 8th graders!
Way to go, Cougars!! Super proud of you!!










🎶 Great Job, Ishi/Studios Band! 🎶
Our talented Ishi/Studios Band students, under the direction of Ms. Crouson, performed last night for friends and family at The Studio’s, and they delivered an outstanding performance! Their hard work, dedication, and commitment to practicing throughout the year truly shined on stage.
We are incredibly proud of these musicians for their perseverance, focus, and willingness to challenge themselves as they continue developing their musical talents. Performing in front of an audience takes courage, and our students rose to the occasion with professionalism and enthusiasm.
We would also like to extend a heartfelt thank you to our amazing families for coming out to support our students. Your encouragement and involvement make a huge difference. We are especially grateful to everyone who stayed to help with cleanup and make the evening run smoothly. Your support helps make events like this possible for our students.
We are so proud of our band and director and grateful to be part of such a supportive school community!
Here are some pictures from our fun-filled night! 📸🎶

Ishi and Studios band students performed at the 10th annual
"Dream Big Concert" at the Oroville State Theater!!
From our Band Director, Ms. Lina Crouson:
"6th grade beginning band students played in the morning portion & did a fabulous job! They had a wonderful time on their first band field trip & made some new band friends!
7th & 8th band students closed out the night portion of the concert with a march tune by John Phillip Sousa. They all worked so hard and they sounded awesome as a huge ensemble!"
Thank you to our amazing band director, Ms. Lina Crouson, for providing such great experiences for our band students!
Thank you Ishi band students for your hard work & dedication!!
We are all very proud of you!!

Coach Clint is one proud Coach & we are a super proud school!!
He shared some stats for our girls basketball team - check this out!
Coach Clint: They finished with an overall record 39-3 with all 3 losses in close one score games.
The team moves the ball great, absolutely great teamwork. On the season, they averaged 40 points a game while playing great defense and only allowing 12 points per game. Along this journey of basketball this year the girls were able to capture 4 tournament championships.
All of this with the team having an average of 3.5 GPA. THAT IS THE BEST PART!
