El Segundo Middle School students put their brains to the test at lunch during the Scholar Quiz Championship—battling it out to see who holds the most random knowledge! 🧠🏆
Bruce & Lynnea first met in 1978 when Lynnea was just 12 years old! 💙
They reconnected in high school when they were dating each other’s friends. After those relationships ended, the two became best friends.
In 1982, they started dating and got married in 1989! Together, they have twin sons and four grandchildren. They are still going strong after 35 years together!

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! 💙
RSS families recently participated in Family CPR Night to learn Hands-Only CPR, thanks to the American Heart Association's Kids Heart Challenge. 🫀❤️
This incredible event allowed our families to connect and learn potentially life-saving skills!
