Junior Hannah Weinmeister was selected by the Orange County Register for their annual Top 100 Influencers list. The 2019 list also a congressman, state assembly persons, and numerous successful entrepreneurs.

The Advanced and AP Drawing and Painting students in the Arts Magnet Program recently completed an amazing global outreach project. The project is sponsored by a non-profit called The Memory Project, which is a program in which U.S. high school art students are asked to create portraits of children in war-torn countries (particularly countries that have had difficult relationships with the US).

JSerra alumna Amber Salas is taking all the right steps to achieving her dream of becoming a sideline reporter — and it all started with the Lion Report. . . .

Missed the Symphony Orchestra Fall Concert? You're in luck! You can watch stunning performances — including the first appearance of our jazz band — at your convenience on YouTube!

When JSerra junior Hannah Weinmeister founded her nonprofit, Hannah's Dancers, earlier this year, she had no idea the immediate impact it would make on so many young students. Hannah's Dancers teaches a variety of dance forms — such as jazz, tap, and ballet — to at-risk children at the Via Positiva Branch of the Boy & Girls Clubs of Capistrano Valley. The tuition? Free-of-charge.

Congratulations to junior Emily Hazelip, who won two prizes in the "Young Adult Art" category at the Orange County Fair this past summer. Both her Cast of an Eye oil painting and Hammer charcoal drawing received 2nd Place.
