We're back to school at Samurai Academy!

As is tradition, teachers and staff rolled out the red carpet for new and returning students. Music, backdrop, props - it's a whole vibe.

The first ever day of school at Samueli was on August 29, 2013. Since then, we've celebrated 10 graduated classes with over 1,000 alumni.

Let's make it another 🔥 year, Firewolves!

Outdoor Club’s ended the school year with a beautiful trip to the Eastern Sierra Nevada Mountains!

This Memorial Day weekend, the Outdoor Club camped near the town of Independence.

Students and staff spent the day visiting the former Japanese American internment museum called Manzanar, as well as the Arts Festival in Bishop.

Local hikes and good weather offered sweeping views of the Mojave desert and snow capped mountains.

Our campground offered a snow melt creek that was enjoyed by many.

More camping trips will be offered to students of all grades 7-12 for the next school year!

Shout out to super athlete and Samueli Academy's star swimmer Ethan!

Ethan represented the Firewolves at the CIF Southern Section Division 4. He placed:

🔥3rd in 200 freestyle
🔥3rd in 100 freestyle

With these results, Ethan put Samueli in the top 25 out of 61 teams.

As the solo representative of the school, he could not participate in the relays which give more points. Even with that limitation, Ethan's results knocked out 36 other teams- many with full time swim programs. That's how impressive the results are!

Congratulations, Ethan!

Another fun weekend with .outdoorsclub

The club spent 2 nights at Bearpaw Reserve near Forest Falls.

Students and chaperones spent hours at Mill Creek, went on a night hike to Big Falls, made a day outing to Oak Glen Preserve and Oak Tree Mountain for activities, and then went on another 5-mile night hike on a winding forest road above the campground.

Weather was warm. Our campground included a short walk to a waterfall, with sweeping vistas of the local mountains.

The Outdoor Club will offer one final trip for the school year to the Eastern Sierra Nevada for Memorial Day weekend!
