The Wonders of Adventure
This year’s school theme, "An Adventure Awaits," has truly guided us through an incredible journey of growth and leadership. In January, we were honored to be recertified as a Leader in Me Lighthouse School. This recognition speaks volumes about our commitment to fostering a culture of student leadership, empowerment, and growth.

Victor Williams, Teacher of the Year

Great teachers are those we remember years from now when we look back and think, I'm here because they believed in me. For El Monte City School District (EMCSD), Victor Williams is that teacher; he has made his mark not only in the hearts of his students but also among his colleagues. Recently named EMCSD’s 2025 Teacher of the Year, Mr. Williams’ contributions to the community are innumerable.
