I am very happy that you and your family were able to be a part of such a wonderful program. We are so fortunate to have such dedicated players, coaches and spectators at Edison High School. I truly believe that student participation in co-curricular activities, such as athletics, plays an important role in a student’s success during high school. The values and personal strengths students learn through athletics are gifts they will take with them for the rest of their lives. Head Coach Cameron Chinn along with his entire coaching staff have done an amazing job with our young men. These athletes are dedicated to academic success, a sense of fair play, as well as personal and team goals. Our athletes certainly had determination. They always played their hearts out, and always as a team! They won with grace and lost with honor. I am so proud of you. I want to extend a special thank you to our parents and partners that worked so hard to support our baseball program. The care, dedication, and time spent to support the program is commendable. I especially want to thank Booster Club President, Scott Morton and the entire booster club board for all of your help the entire season. Jennifer K. Graves Principal #ProudtobeaCharger Welcome to another exciting season of Edison Charger Baseball. This 2019 season promises to be full of great games in the Sunset Conference. Coach Cameron Chinn and his outstanding staff have worked tirelessly preparing for the upcoming contests. We are very fortunate at Edison to have such a great coaching staff leading our young men. Their positive attitude toward the players and the game has instilled confidence in our team. The players have worked hard all summer in the weight room and on the field, and are eager for the approaching campaign. They will play hard to the final out knowing that Edison’s vast community is standing behind them. I invite everyone to become a member of our “Edison Family”. You can get on board by joining the booster club, going to games, volunteering to help, or just giving words of encouragement to our players and coaches. I know you will find that once you join you are a member for life. Join and you will see why everyone involved with Edison High School says they are … “PROUD TO BE A CHARGER” Rich Boyce Athletic Director 2 | EDISON HIGH SCHOOL Booster Club President The Edison Baseball Booster Club would like to end the year by saying THANK YOU to all the volunteers who put in an extra effort to make 2018- 2019 very successful.
