From Alicia Tembi, U.S. History Teacher:
Last week, the 11th grade US History class welcomed Mr. Jack Kubota, who was forced to live at age 13 in the Poston 1 internment camp for Japanese Americans located in Arizona. Mr. Kubota spoke to the 11th graders about life in the camp, how his family was impacted by internment, and how he acclimated to society afterwards. Mr. Kubota was accompanied by Ms. Linda Canada, a former archivist and educational outreach coordinator at the Japanese American Historical Society in San Diego. She provided information about how the San Diego region was impacted by internment. Their stories illuminated the resiliency of the human spirit and the power of hope. We greatly appreciate Mr. Kubota's willingness to speak candidly about a difficult time and we thank him for his service in the US Navy following internment.
What if the future of education isn't found in more technology or more complicated schools—but at the edge of the map? I've been invited into the SXSW EDU community voting process with a storytelling session. Will you take out 2 minutes to help?
Gardeners and children are verbs before they are nouns.
I boarded expecting five-star luxury. I disembarked with one of the clearest lessons on leadership and school culture I've encountered in decades.
Our Grauer Summer Enrichment campers have had lots of fun experiences on our campus this summer. The campers had an absolute blast and made memories that will last long after summer ends!
We celebrated the alumni who laid the foundation for the school’s success with our 1990s Class Reunion on July 25. We had a great turnout, and it was fun to reminisce and hear their stories.
The next great revolution in education won't change what students learn in class. It will change what we measure.
