Celebrating ESUSD Sweethearts! 💙
Chris and Tracey Dewar (ESHS Class of '96 and '97) were high school friends who lost touch after graduation.
They eventually lost touch, but reconnected on Facebook in 2010! Despite living in two different states—Tracey was in Texas and Chris was in California—they made long-distance dating work.
The couple tied the knot in 2011 and now call Flower Mound, TX, home!

We are thrilled to share that Clara Schiff, a talented second-grader from Center Street Elementary School, has won second place in the California State PTA Reflections competition! 🏆✨

Her submission stood out among hundreds of submissions from students across the state. Her creativity, dedication, and artistic expression earned her this incredible achievement, bringing pride to our school and community.

This past week, talented ESHS student interns for the El Segundo Blue Butterfly Conservancy rolled up their sleeves and got hands-on with nature at Library Park! Together, they worked hard to glean seeds from native plants, helping preserve and share the beauty of our local ecosystem. 💪🌿
The best part? These seeds are now available for FREE in bins at Library Park for our residents! Whether you're a seasoned gardener or just starting out, stop by, grab some seeds, and help grow native beauty in your own backyard.
A big shoutout to this partnership for their dedication to sustainability and their community. 🌟
A big THANK YOU to our amazing PTA and Richmond Street families for coming together to support our El Segundo firefighters as they battle the wildfires. 💙

Richmond Street 3rd grade students in Project Lead the Way (PLTW) used their coding skills to direct reindeer during a recent activity! 🦌
Our 6th graders recently embarked on an incredible journey at Outdoor Science School—and what an experience it has been! From the moment they stepped off the bus to their return home, they’ve created memories to last a lifetime. 🌿
Students hiked trails, studied ecosystems, and discovered the beauty of the great outdoors. From stream studies to weather lessons, they applied what they’ve learned in the classroom to real-world environments, sparking curiosity and a love for science.
Cabin bonding, team challenges, and campfire moments brought students together, strengthening friendships and fostering teamwork.
A little snow and cold weather added a unique twist, creating even more excitement and wonder! ❄️
A huge thank you to the camp staff, teachers, and parents who made this experience possible!
