It is important that all of our Eagles graduate College/Career Ready, and exposure to post-secondary institutions is a critical part of this goal.

The program features top BMX stars that teens admire performing high-energy action sports shows on campus while speaking to the students about their own experiences with bullying, overcoming obstacles, being an ally, inclusion, kindness, surrounding yourself with positive influences, problem-solving, mental health awareness, and other important subjects that really resonate with teens." - No Hate Tour

Student Athlete Profile: Paul Kim 12th grade

How long have you been wrestling ?

I started wrestling 4 years ago, my freshman year. At first I didn’t have too much interested, but then coach Monico and Jose asked me join up since my brother was wrestling. I didn’t really like the first practice, it was super super hard, but then I really enjoyed it.

What is your favorite wrestling memory so far ?

I think it was yesterday, we won league. These last couple of years we just missed it by a little, but this year we did it. We also won league our freshmen year.

What are your plans for after high school?

Hopefully get some offers from some of the schools I applied to, but for sure major in kinesiology. So I’ll hopefully go to Cal state long beach, Fullerton, Bakersfield, Pomana, and also to UC Irvine, UCLA, and UC Riverside. Hopefully I can also get some wrestling offers from a couple of schools as well.

Who is your favorite teacher?

Its Mrs. Villanueva, she is really one of the nicest teachers I have ever met, plus she is super supportive.
