El Segundo Unified School District -

Did you know? In California, only about 50% of students meet the A-G requirements needed for admission to the state’s public universities. 🏫

At El Segundo High School, 83% of the Class of 2025 completed the A-G requirements before graduation. That makes us one of the top districts in the South Bay and across the state when it comes to college readiness! 💪

Meet ESUSD Sweethearts Matt and Amber Pate! 💙 Matt and Amber first met when she was in fourth grade. Her best friend invited him over, and they instantly hit it off. A few days later, she was the only girl invited to his birthday party! Although they were two grades apart and eventually lost touch, they continued to see each other around town occasionally. Years later, when Amber was 21 and Matt was 23, he stopped by her house to visit her brother... but secretly, he was hoping to see her. The rest is history! Now, they’ve been married for seven years and are proud parents of two daughters. This September marks 14 years since they rekindled their childhood spark!
