Harbor High’s IB film team has been invited back to compete in the 2025 Clash of Titans Film Competition. Located in Paris we will get to meet students from around the world and compete in a 48 hour film challenge. We are the only public school and the only school in North America to compete and we’re very excited to represent Santa Cruz and the United States this January. Many of us going on the trip have never left the country and this is an exciting opportunity to explore ourselves and connect with kids from different cultural backgrounds.

To fundraise for this trip, we are hosting a winter Bazaar and flea market this Saturday (12/14). The market will be in the Harbor High School Multi Purpose Room from 12 noon to 4:00 pm. Local and student vendors will be selling bikes, vintage clothes, books, toys, art, jewelry (earrings, bracelets, barrettes, more!), stickers, floral designs, baked goods, tie-dye t-shirts and fanny packs (make-your-own, too!). There will be Tacos from Taqueria Vallarta, bodywork / massage, crochet items and more! We’d love to see you there!
