GTHS Athlete of the Week - Erfan Ahmad

It is great to learn about the Grand Terrace High School Athlete of the Week Erfan Ahmad, and his achievements and aspirations. It’s clear that this Titan is a dedicated and well-rounded individual with a strong focus on academic excellence, sports, and various hobbies. Wrestling seems to have played a significant role in shaping Erfan’s character, teaching valuable lessons about teamwork, determination, and pushing personal limits.

Erfan’s commitment to maintaining a 4.0 GPA while actively participating in Grand Terrace High School Varsity Wrestling since his Freshman year, Varsity Swin, and various other activities demonstrates a high level of discipline and time management skills. The recognition awards from the Presidential, Legislative, Assembly, and Senate further highlight Erfan’s outstanding contributions and accomplishments.

Efran’s ambition to attend an Ivy League school and major in neuroscience, with the goal of creating a life-changing innovation, showcases a passion for making a positive impact on the world. The quote, “I’ll say I’m the greatest even before I know I am.” Reflects confidence, determination and mid mindset geared toward achieving greatness.

He also finds time to enjoy playing the piano, working out, reading, playing chess, running, and archery.

Erfan said, “Wrestling has taught me the value of a team effort, the grit it takes for even a sliver of glory, and the meaning of pushing limits you didn't think you were capable of pushing.” 

Wishing Erfan continued success in all his endeavors both in academics and in pursuing his dreams. The future certainly looks promising for someone with such a strong ethic and clear vision for their future.

A residence shows visible damage from flooding, mud and debris following severe winter storms that began Dec. 23, which brought heavy rain and debris flows to mountain and high desert communities across San Bernardino County. This week, the San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors approved recovery-related fee waivers to help eligible property owners repair and rebuild as response and long-term recovery efforts continue.

Photo Caption: Crime in San Bernardino has dropped by 30 percent or more throughout the city. One reason is that there are more officers on the streets. The Police Department’s goal is to have 350 sworn officers. Current full-time staffing is reported at 295 sworn officers and 156 professional staff.
