Congratulations to this year's 8th grade graduating class! Each graduate stepped to the podium in their gowns and leis and gave speeches that were filled with gratitude for teachers, staff, parents and families, and fellow classmates. We are all so excited about the bright future that is in store for each of them.

These graduates now join the ranks of our alumni as they move forward with their education. Their secondary school destinations include Chadwick School, Vistamar School, Fusion Academy, Mira Costa, Palos Verdes Peninsula High School, and Palos Verdes High School.

PHS alumni who are now graduating high school seniors dropped by to reconnect with their former teachers and classmates before heading off for college in the Fall. We were so happy to hear about their college acceptances and we are cheering them on for their continued success!

This year’s PHS Educator of the Year, Dr. Mary Wilson was honored along with other educators in Palos Verdes at the annual Educator of the Year dinner and program on April 13, 2022, sponsored by the PVP Rotary Club and co-chaired by PHS’s Joan E. Behrens. Dr. Wilson spoke at the event and recounted her journey in the teaching profession and interesting incidents in her science lab preparations and experiments! Congratulations, Dr. Wilson!

“I was overwhelmed,” reflects Dr. Wilson. “It was wonderful! And thanks to my colleagues who joined me to celebrate this honor.”

We are so happy to announce that we are once again voted as Best Private Elementary School in the South Bay in the Easy Reader's Best of the Beach poll! 😊

Our 5th grade class put on a wonderful show about the American Revolution, "History Comes Alive", to PHS alumni, families, and friends on March 17th!

We were delighted to be back in the Norris Theatre after two years of pandemic safety precautions. It was a lovely evening and we are so proud of our 5th grade class! 👏💐
