El Camino HS Newsletter

The purpose of El Camino High School is to provide our students with an alternative education. Our mission is to develop within our students an awareness of their responsibilities to become productive contributing members of society and work enthusiastically toward their full potential.

El Camino takes great pride in servicing our students and for its efforts has been recognized as a Model Continuation School by the state of California. It is our goal to assist students in recouping credits so that they can either return to their home school or graduate at El Camino.

El Camino would love to acknowledge Mrs. Sheedy, El Camino's Art Instructor, for inspiring many students to enter the Annual District Art Show.

Delilah Bracamontes, pictured here with dad, produced two wonderful canvas paintings, one of two wolves playing together and another one of rapper Lil Peep.

Mrs. Sheedy along with the students in her Art classes chose the best canvas paintings to be displayed at the district office for the annual show. Several students have taken the time to visit the displays which will be up through the end of this week.
