In 7th grade science, our young geologists took a deep dive into the powerful forces shaping our planet! 🌍
Using interactive models, students explored how tectonic plates move and collide, leading to the formation of ocean basins, mountains, earthquakes, and volcanoes. It was hands-on learning at its best as they visualized the Earth’s dynamic crust in action. 🌋
From shifting plates to rising mountains, our students are discovering the science behind Earth’s major geological events—and loving every moment of it!
We loved hearing from Nate Webb at the ESMS assembly! He shared powerful lessons on kindness, anti-bullying, and resilience in a digital world.
Special thanks to our PTSA for sponsoring. Let’s keep these values at the heart of our school community! 🐾
Elena Wagner-Bagues is an outstanding Spanish teacher at El Segundo High School. But before that, she was a student here! 🌟
We cannot possibly speak about our preschool without mentioning one person who has been here through the years—and that is Ms. Mary Jo! ❤️
Her many years of service and support of #ESUSD comes down to her experience with learning through play. There is a healthy balance of traditional and student-driven activities in her class.
Here she is waiting for friends while becoming part of a spontaneous student game. Kids began singing with her while she counted their circles around her.
What a splendid teachable moment in a preschool day! 🌞
On Education Support Professionals Day, we celebrate our amazing ESPs! 🎉
Whether you’re supervising bus drop-offs, helping students during lunch, or stepping in with classroom support, your contributions are vital. Thank you for fostering a positive and safe environment for all!
Last week the preschool students discovered new facts about corn! 🌽
Teachers discussed all of the ways we use corn in our food. The children were given kernels on their sensory tables to explore and were able to grind the corn kernels!
Our young learners in TK and Kindergarten celebrated the 50th day of school in fashion by hosting a sock hop dance. The staff got dressed up, too! 🪩
Sarah Chang teaches 3rd grade students at Center Street. But did you know she’s also an ESHS alum? Once an Eagle, always an Eagle! 🦅
Our middle school students are enjoying the new gym built under Measure ES. Thank you, once again, to the El Segundo community for this gift to our students! 🏀🏐🏃
Huge Eagle shout-out to ESHS senior Caleb Tsai, who qualified as a National Merit Scholarship Semifinalist for his excellent performance on the PSAT as a junior, making him eligible for part of over $27 million in scholarships distributed by the National Merit Scholarship Program!
The NMS distinction is earned by only 1% of all students nationwide, making Caleb part of a select group of students across the country. Way to go, Caleb! 🥳
This week, we honor the dedication of educators and the unwavering support of staff, families, and so many others. American Education Week reminds us how vital it is to work together to ensure every student thrives.
Thank you for all the support you provide to our students! 🙏
ESMS had a fantastic visit from Superintendent Dr. Johnson, who engaged our students in a meaningful focus group discussion!
The session provided a valuable opportunity for students to voice the challenges they encounter, fostering an environment where they feel heard and valued. ❤️
Our most recent teacher inservice day was a huge success! Teachers from Richmond Street and Center Street shared their knowledge and experiences with colleagues throughout the district.
The topic of discussion was vertical articulation and how to best use it to support students. Thank you for sharing your expertise with us!
We want to hear from you! 💌

Celebrating this heritage is more than acknowledging history—it’s about understanding the present contributions and future aspirations of Native American peoples.
ESHS raised money for Red Ribbon Week with its annual student kickball tournament. The Lucky Leprechauns won for the second year in a row to repeat as champions! ❤️
The Leprechauns then doubled down and defeated the staff team, 8-7. Overall, it was a great time that raised over $500 for charity!
