On Tuesday, October 22, the entire ninth grade class visited different neighborhoods within Los Angeles during an Intersections of Identity field trip.
Students had the opportunity to explore the impact of gentrification changing identity of the city across multiple locations, visiting the Watts Towers Arts Center, Grand Central Market, Little Tokyo, the Arts District, and Avenue 50 Studio in Highland Park.
The annual Intersections of Identity field trip provides an opportunity for students to explore the identity of historic Los Angeles, investigate the impact of gentrification, and document their experiences through listening walks, writing, and photography.
Upper School students of Spanish 3 Honors, Spanish 4 Honors, and AP Spanish attended the dress rehearsal of the opera, El último sueño de Frida y Diego, and stopped for lunch at the Pueblo de Los Angeles on Olvera Street.
