Back-to-School ... for Parents

A few weeks ago, Peninsula High School held "Back-to-School Night" for parents to meet the teachers and get an understanding of the class curriculum. The kids are really fortunate to have such excellent teachers.

School-day Morning

The intersection of Silver Spur and Hawthorne Blvd, the location of Peninsula High School, is extremely busy between 7:30 and 7:55 in the morning.

Pen

PV Peninsula HS is the larger of the two high schools hill. For a few years in the '80s and early '90s, it was the only high school here as enrollment dropped due to an older population. In the mid-90's, the demographics shifted and the previously closed schools reopened. Today, Pen has about 3,500 students.

Amazing Talent at PVPHS

PV Peninsula High School held a Fine and Performing Arts Gala last Saturday evening, featuring extermely talented groups of young musicians, singers, dancers, actors and 2d/3d visual artist (my son's mask was on display). The culinary art students provided the hors d'oeuvres.

'Back-to-School' Night at Pen High School

Meet & greet evening for the parents and the teachers (who are truly excellent) at the Palos Verdes Peninsula High School. The parents toured the student's schedule, and got a 10-minute pitch from each teacher on the curriculum and their expectations. Here the PE teacher, Mr. Helmrich (way in the background), is talking to parents.
