Lacrosse Continues To Soar
|
|
|
With a Top 100 ranking, and a program that has literally been soaring in participation, success, and engagement throughout Culver City, Boys and Girls Lacrosse at CCHS are having banner seasons and are looking forward to having the community out at their games throughout the Spring. With brand new bleachers out on the Lacrosse Field, there's plenty of room for everyone to enjoy a great game during a fantastic season!

Run, Jump, Throw:
Culver City Track & Field
|
|
|
Culver City's Track & Field program continues to dominate Southern California in part because of how many multi-sport athletes are top tier runners, jumpers, and throwers across the team. Coach Wright is a genius at maximizing the athleticism of his squad, and if you haven't seen this year's team compete yet, head out to Chabola Stadium for a meet!

|
From the time they're in elementary school, our students know they want to graduate as Centaurs. In the picture above "Future Centaurs" from Ms. Carpenter's and Ms. Thompson's classes at El Rincon and Farragut sport their #FUTURECENTAUR gear as they get focused on the future and all that awaits them in high school and beyond.

The Air Force @ El Rincon
|
|
|
With a strongly-forged partnership with the Los Angeles Air Force Base, El Rincon is the beneficiary of frequent visit from the Airmen and Airwomen who call Southern California their home. During last week's STEAM Unit, students not only learned the physics behind paper airplanes... they heard first-hand experiences about flying a plane, too!

AVPA Film Debuts 2017 Shorts @ Sony Pictures' Carey Grant Theater!
|
|
|
Sooooo... How many 16 and 17 year olds can say they "debuted their film at Sony Studios when they were still in high school?" These AVPA'ers can. On March 23rd, five films were shown to a star-studded audience with absolutely rave reviews.
AVPA Film allows students to learn the skills and build the confidence to, literally, make movies. If that's something you've ever dreamed of, it's completely possible in Culver City Unified :)
