We value the time and commitment you put in to reading and analyzing the Self-Study as well as completing the campus visit. Our staff, parents, and community members appreciate the work you will do on behalf of our students. Thank you. In my first year as principal, I have been pleased to help lead our staff through the Self-Study. I am looking forward to the visit and receiving your report on our school and our work. Santa Monica High School has much to brag about including strong achievement metrics, a dedicated staff and supportive parents and community. In an effort to achieve educational access and equity for all students, Santa Monica High School has been working with Dr. Pedro Noguera and his team to develop an action plan to assist the district in taking the next best steps to address achievement gaps in the district and further current equity and access work. This has given our school the opportunity to refocus and redirect so that our tradition of excellence can continue and be extended to all of our students. We know that Santa Monica High School is an excellent school and we know that it can be even better. We respect your expertise, look forward to your analysis of our efforts and appreciate the time and effort that you give in the service of students.

Since the turn of the 20th Century, this street has attracted numerous prominent southern Californians. This street is named after Robert Gillis’ daughter, Adelaide. Robert Gillis was the owner of the Santa Monica Land and Water Co. and bought thousands of acres in the Palisades in the 1880s. In 1923, Gillis sold 22,000 acres to Alphonso Bell, who developed Bel Air, and went on to develop the Pacific Palisades. 6. Worrell “Zuni House,” 1923-24 710 Adelaide Pl. Architect Robert Stacey-Judd is best known for his Mayan-themed architecture, as is evident in the Pueblo Revival style home, the only known example of his work in Santa Monica. The design of the house embodies many of the character-defining features of the Pueblo Revival style, including an asymmetrical facade, block composition, and flat roofs with parapets highlighted by red tile coping. Noteworthy are projecting roof beams (a.k.a. vigas) typical of the Zuni tribe of Arizona Indians. The rounded corners of the terraced walls, simulate adobe. A stepped Mayan motif is repeated in the door and window frames. It’s said that the work of this architect "is always a surprise.” 7.

That’s exactly what a handful of Santa Monica police officers did recently, reviving a 3-year-old found floating in the family pool, as well as a father of four young chil- dren whose heart stopped while conducting business at City Hall.
