Home of the Proud Eagles
Greetings Eagles Family!
So many outstanding things have happened over the year that I would need several pages of this newsletter just to include them all! However, one achievement truly captures how the El Segundo community comes together to
support the high school and how we benefit from this support. Last week we

The Ed! Gala on Friday, May 15th was a blast. The 4.0 Brunch, Baccalaureate and of
course, the Prom are all first-time events for me here at El Segundo and I cannot wait to participate. Each one is another little reminder that the year is almost over. It has been a tremendous year for me and cannot be happier that around a year ago I decided to take the first steps to becoming an El Segundo Eagle!

Message from the ESHS ASB
Dear esteemed members of the PTA,
Your generous dedication to El Segundo High School is greatly appreciated. The end of the 2015-2016 school year is approaching rather quickly, and we are continuing to keep things exciting here at ESHS! Over the past couple of months, we have been quite busy! ASB Elections were a success! Our high school was also chosen to participate in a "Dude Be
Nice Project" where ASB has planned an event to honor Chuck Shaffer, a 30+ year volunteer with ESHS athletics, at a surprise event following the varsity baseball game on April 30th. We have received generous contribution and support from many community members, and are expecting it to be a huge success, to show our appreciation for such a great man. Along with this, our spring athletics such as baseball, softball, boys’ volleyball, boys’ tennis, track and field, and swim are in full force, and having exciting seasons so far! Our baseball and softball team both went to tournaments in early April and both teams came home as champions! Also this past month, Drama hosted an amazing Talent Show that showcased many of our amazing students. As we move into the last months of the school year, we are looking forward to a spectacular Jr/ Sr Prom, AP Testing, SBAC testing, Final Exams, and the Graduation of the Class of 2015. Below are a list of Upcoming Senior Events:
5/19, 2nd period meeting with Mrs. Espinoza, admins and ALL Seniors regarding Senior Activities!

The current course offered to students in the Business Pathway include Business Accounting, Business Entrepreneurship, and Business Economics. The A-G approved series of courses provides an excellent opportunity for students to learn and develop skills in an authentic context.
