Wednesday, November 10th, 2021, marks the first NCAA signing day of the year, where our student-athletes were able to sign their National Letters of Intent to play collegiately next year, and wear their college gear with pride.

Laguna Beach High School (LBHS) teacher, Mr. Jonathan Todd, was surprised in his classroom with the Impact Influencer Award, presented by the Navy. This award is given to incredible educators, such as Mr. Todd, as the Navy’s way of saying thank you for having such a positive impact in the lives of certain well-rounded, driven individuals that enlist in the Navy.

Laguna Beach High School’s Authentic Exploratory Research (AER) Program students presented their project proposals during a special class session on October 13, 2021. Teachers and students of the Palo Alto USD’s Advanced Authentic Research (AAR) program and their mentors were invited to join the special class via Zoom to collaborate and offer feedback. Attendees in the hybrid meeting included mentors, AER parents, Superintendent Viloria, and a handful of District staff.

Laguna Beach High School Welcomed the 2021-2022 Authentic Exploratory Research Program Mentors

LAGUNA BEACH, Calif. - On Monday, September 13, our second Authentic Exploratory Research (AER) program cohort gathered in the LBHS Senior Patio for a welcome breakfast. Handpicked mentors connected individually with their mentees over breakfast as they began to learn more about one another and engage in preliminary discussions around the mentee's year-long project.

The AER independent research course provides the opportunity for students to propose their own driving questions in order to explore their passions and career pathways in a variety of fields. Students are purposefully matched with adult mentors to aid in their research and analysis. From Fashion Designers to Gaming Industry founders, mentors include Industry experts and leaders, and university-level academics.
