Administrators say the 12 new cameras will help prevent truancy, theft, break-ins and potential dangers to students and faculty.

Last week I had an opportunity to watch a tennis match at The Bishop’s School with coach Matt Copeland, as my guide. Before the match, he shared a little bit about himself and how high school tennis works.

Students and parents at La Jolla Elementary School were “shocked” to find out how much fun electricity and magnetism can be at the school’s annual Family Science Night, a PTO-sponsored event of hands-on experiments and activities.

On March 26, students from The Bishop’s School returned from an eye-opening trip to India and Nepal. While there, the 25 young travelers spent four days and nights at a shelter they helped support through fundraising.

The annual Baja Knights Auction to benefit The Bishop’s School’s need-based student financial aid and faculty professional growth programs took place April 20, 2013 on the school’s campus in La Jolla. The soiree featured a concert by rocker Sammy Hagar and included live and silent auctions, a wine auction, dinner and dancing.

The Santa Fe Christian High School girls softball team came to La Jolla looking for an upset win over La Jolla Country Day School on April 18, 2013. Unfortunately, they were looking in the wrong place as the La Jolla Country Day Torreys hammered the Santa Fe Christian Eagles 11-1. It was a very close game until the bottom of the fifth, where it really got away from Santa Fe Christian.

Francis Parker School had their hitting shoes on April 11, 2013 when they rolled over The Bishop’s School, 10-1, in a girls softball game played at Bishop’s field. The teams were just not evenly matched and it was apparent from the very beginning.

I attend La Jolla High and was also interested to read about the changes principal Dana Shelbourne has made to upgrade the campus. I have a different viewpoint. Accessibility. In a non-disabled person’s mind, that word lacks meaning, but in a disabled person’s mind, the word “accessibility” is everything. Accessibility is how he or she is able to live his or her life as normally as possible.
