Students from any background who are considering entrance to Point Loma High School have a chance to experience much of what it means to be a Pointer at a special event March 5.\u00a0 The community\u2019s only public high school is staging its second annual “Picture Yourself a Pointer” day for all incoming students, regardless of their current educational situation. Students currently in any public, private or charter schools and home-schooled youth considering attending the school (2335 Chatsworth Blvd.) are encouraged to attend. The school, through its Pointer Association, stresses “The 3 A\u2019s: Academics, Arts and Athletics.” The PLHS website is www.pointlomahigh.com.\u00a0 The event is more than just an open house, with appearances by athletes in uniform, cheerleaders, theater and dance students, and will conclude with campus tours. The program begins at 9:45 a.m. with visiting students being ushered into the school\u2019s Trepanier Gym as the Pointers\u2019 award-winning band performs. For the next 45 minutes, a carefully orchestrated but constant blitz of information and activities designed to captivate candidates will showcase the numerous possibilities available to PLHS students. This year\u2019s event will be preceded and followed by a contingent of eighth graders, making the pilgrimage from Correia Middle School to the Pointer campus on foot due to district funding cuts. A cluster of hundreds of students and staff will possibly tie up vehicle traffic along Voltaire Street and Chatsworth Boulevard as the group makes it way along the one-mile route. Following the event\u2019s 11 a.m. conclusion, Correia students will return to their Valeta Street campus.
