It’s Workforce Readiness Week, and we're proud to highlight our commitment to preparing students for success beyond the classroom! 🚀
In fact, our high school students have access to several career pathways: https://www.elsegundohigh.org/o/eshs/page/pathways-engineering-biomedical-science-business-and-visual-performing-arts.
From career exploration to hands-on learning experiences, we’re helping students graduate confident, capable, and ready for what’s next! 🎓

ESHS celebrated its annual Career & College Day! 🎉
Over 70 community professionals attended to speak with Eagle students about a variety of industries and career paths.
The career events were followed by a college fair in the quad, where university representatives shared information about enrollment and programs.
Overall, it was another successful event focused on connecting students with opportunities beyond ESHS.
Thank you to all the local professionals and representatives who made the day such a success!
Did you miss our most recent Board of Education meeting?
Find a recap here: https://www.elsegundousd.net/page/meeting-summaries
Christina and Jason first met at El Segundo High School. Even though there was a two-year age difference, they had mutual friends since Christina’s brother was in Jason’s grade. Christina even drew a heart around Jason’s yearbook photo, though she didn’t think he’d ever see it!
After graduation, they continued to run into each other—at community college, mutual friends' events, and local spots like the Tavern. Eventually, they reconnected over breakfast and a walk on the beach.
Now, almost 10 years later, they’re happily married with an amazing son and will celebrate six years of marriage this year! 💙
The CSS Grand Prize winners of the Cougar CARE Card raffle had the chance to enjoy a special lunch with Mr. Kyle, Ms. Ahrens, or Ms. Moran—and they each brought a friend along for the fun! 🌟
We're so proud of the way these students consistently show CARE—Community, Accountability, Respect, and Excellence—every single day!
RSS families recently participated in Family CPR Night to learn Hands-Only CPR, thanks to the American Heart Association's Kids Heart Challenge. 🫀❤️

This April Fools' Day, the Center Street campus was filled with laughter, surprises, and just the right amount of silliness, thanks to a playful Teacher Swap that kept students (and adults) on their toes!
Students arrived expecting a typical Tuesday morning—but were greeted by unexpected faces leading their lessons! Whether it was Ms. Bejarano giving a spelling test with nonsense words to 2nd graders or Ms. Feenstra pretending to be Ms. Karich, the classrooms were quickly filled with giggles and wide eyes.
While the swap was short and sweet, the joy it sparked was lasting. These playful moments remind us that a little surprise and shared laughter can go a long way in building a strong, connected school community.
Thank you to our amazing students and staff for embracing the spirit of fun and togetherness.

Out of 1,150 students from 133 schools, these two talented students represented El Segundo High School with their impressive projects.
Laina's project, Learning and Memory Retention in the Land Snail Based on Diet, explored the fascinating world of snails and their learning behavior, while Caleb's project, The Effects of Focal Ischemic Infarct Volume on Spatial Learning and Memory, delved into the complexities of brain health and memory.
Their hard work and dedication showcase not only their scientific curiosity but also their commitment to excellence. We're incredibly proud of both of you for your amazing work!
