The Office of Equity and Inclusion and the English Department welcomed guests from Flintridge Prep, including student speaker, Leon Kuo, Dr. Tyke O’Brien, Chair of the English Department, and Ms. Ingrid Herskind, History Faculty and Global Studies Coordinator, for our Identity and Storytelling Series.
The conversation and reading served as a culmination of and capstone to discussions in Dr. Phillips' and Mr. Jaffe's AP English Language classes surrounding race and identity in Celeste Ng's novel, “Everything I Never Told You,” which explores Chinese American identity and issues of assimilation through a contemporary lens.
We were honored to host this conversation and exchange between our independent school communities!
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.
