Another Successful Shadow Day

 Eighth graders from Mcnair, Belle Haven and Cesar Chavez have visited East Palo Alto Academy during our shadow days.  They sat in classes, took a tour of the school, and ate lunch with current students.  Many students are excited to be Bulldogs next year; we have received many applications for admission!

Bulldog Basketball

 This year, both our boys and girls basketball teams are among the most competitive in the league.  On January 23, the Lady Bulldogs defeated Mid Peninsula High School.  They now are 5-1 in league play.  The boys also defeated the Mid Peninsula team and remain undefeated!  Go Bulldogs!

Alumni Lunch

 On Thursday, January 12, recent EPAA graduates returned to the school.  At the Alumni lunch, they spoke to current EPAA students about their high school preparation and college experiences.  Teachers enjoyed visiting with their former students and students appreciated learning about what to expect from college.

Math Jam!

For the first week of the second semester, 22 seniors traveled to Cañada College to participate in the college's Math Jam in order to improve their scores on the college math placement exam.  The students spent six hours a day doing math exercises and though they admitted the experience was challenging, they all feel they improved their math skills.
