Thank you Connect High Families for a wonderful Fall Semester.  Being able to end the year watching students showcase what they have learned and their talents through our Exhibition Nights was truly memorable.  We appreciate the support and encouragement as our students participate in Da Vinci signature practices, such as Exhibition, Student-Led Conferences and Presentations of Learning (all of which will take place in the Spring).

The last day for students on campus will be Thursday 12/15 (tomorrow 12/13 is the LAST day for our T/F cohort), and tomorrow 12/13 is also the due date for Learning Log #2.

School will resume on January 9, 2023, have a restful winter break.

For students interested in leadership opportunities:

The Metaverse Leadership Learning Academy is an initiative where students from LA County ages 14 to 18 years (high school students) have an opportunity to participate in a free 6-week Metaverse course and receive a certification. The Academy will be open to only the top 100 applicants across Los Angeles. To learn more, click here.

For students interested in art:

Indivisible Arts, a non-profit organization dedicated to arts youth programming in Hermosa Beach, is offering scholarships for students who want to attend their programs. To apply for their scholarship, please click here.

For students interested in exploring career options:

Applications are now open for the Airport Police Youth Cadet Program. This program helps instill leadership, academic excellence, life skills, and discipline into its participants. The program also seeks to empower students into maximizing their personal, scholastic, and life potential as well as providing early insight into what a career in law enforcement would be like at the Los Angeles International Airport. In order to join the cadet program a person must be between the ages of 13 and 17, maintain a 2.5-grade point average, have no serious criminal record, obtain a medical examination, and complete the cadet academy. The program is free. Participants do not have to be interested in law enforcement as a career to be part of the program. To learn more and apply, click here.
