Torrance High School students experienced a powerful lesson in history, resilience, and peace during a special visit from Kumi Ishida, a second-generation Nagasaki atomic bomb survivor.

Ishida traveled from Japan to share her family's experiences through personal stories, historical photos, and videos, helping students better understand the lasting impact of the atomic bombing and the importance of advocating for peace.

We also welcomed Mayor Sharon Kalani, Assemblymember Al Muratsuchi, Torrance City Councilmembers, and Torrance Unified Board and Cabinet members for this meaningful assembly.

Ishida left students with a powerful message: Nagasaki must remain the last city to experience an atomic bombing. Her story encouraged students to reflect on history, think critically, and recognize their role in shaping a more peaceful future.

Thank you to Kumi Ishida and everyone who helped bring this important learning experience to our students. 💙🌏

Throughout Hispanic Heritage Month (celebrated Sept. 15 - Oct. 15), our schools were vibrant hubs of learning, storytelling, and joy as students and staff honored the rich traditions and contributions of Hispanic and Latino cultures.

Our district united to celebrate with a variety of activities, including guest speakers, creative "Paint My Culture" days, and inspiring cultural showcases.

Thank you to our dedicated educators, student leaders, and guest speakers for making Hispanic Heritage Month a meaningful experience for all!

Students at Anza, Wood, Lincoln, and Victor Elementary Schools recently enjoyed a fun, hands-on Farmers Market experience right on the school grounds!

Through an exciting partnership with local farm organizations Aziz Farms and Food 4 Thought, our students met local farmers, learned where their food comes from, how fresh produce is grown, and why healthy eating matters.

Best of all, every student toured the interactive stands, discovered new fruits and vegetables, and received a bag of fresh, locally grown produce home to share with their families!

Thank you to Aziz Farms, Food 4 Thought, and our Nutrition Services team for bringing fresh agriculture, nutrition education, and healthy habits directly to our students! 🚜 🫛

Our Edison Elementary 5th graders recently wrapped up an unforgettable three-day STEAM Experience at California State University, Dominguez Hills (CSUDH)!

Hosted by the Center for Innovation in STEM Education (CISE), students took on the "Comics for Change" project, using Apple’s Keynote app to create original digital comics that address important topics like mental health, stress, and self-esteem. Through hands-on storytelling, technology, and design, they used their creativity to spark positive change.

To top it all off, our students got a firsthand taste of college life during a guided campus tour. Led by CSUDH student technicians and staff, the visit left our fifth graders empowered, excited, and already imagining their futures on a university campus, with a few even sharing, "I want to come here for college!"

A huge thank you to CSUDH and CISE for hosting such a meaningful, inspiring experience for our Torrance Unified students! 💙🎒

Back to School Nights are in full swing across our district! As we complete our first month of classes, we're excited to welcome parents and families onto our campuses, into classrooms, and into the seats where their students learn every day.

These events are such a great way to meet our dedicated teachers, who have been doing an impressive job connecting with families and sharing what the year ahead holds. In some classrooms, students even left sweet, "old school" handwritten notes on their desks for their parents to find, and then parents had a chance to write back!

A huge thank you to our incredible PTAs for sharing the importance of membership, and to staff and volunteers for working the always popular Scholastic Book Fairs that bring extra energy to these nights. Most of all, thank you to all the parents and family members who took the time to show up, engage, and partner with us to benefit your child(ren)!
