Hermosa Beach City School District

We were so happy to celebrate our Promotion Class of 2026 8th grade students! It was a joyful and memorable milestone recognizing all they’ve accomplished during their time at Hermosa Valley.

We can’t wait to see all of the amazing things they will accomplish in high school and beyond.

Congratulations, Class of 2026!

This year HBCD partnered with BCHD by introducing Wellable a wellness platform to support healthy lifestyles for staff. We would like to congratulate staff for participating in the Nutrition Ambition challenge and being Champions of Wellness!

HBCSD recently hosted a special employee barbecue as a way to thank our dedicated staff. Employees were welcomed by a wonderful group of Hermosa Valley dads who generously volunteered their time to fire up the grill and serve lunch. We are grateful for their support and for helping create a fun and memorable event for our team!

We got to give a heartfelt thank you to all of our amazing volunteers who joined us for our Hermosa Volunteer Breakfast at View.

Your time, energy, and dedication have made such a meaningful impact on our students and school community this year. Thank you for partnering with us, supporting our kids, and helping create opportunities for them to learn, grow, and thrive.

We truly could not have done it without you. As the saying goes, it takes a village and we are so grateful to have such a caring and committed one.

Thank you for all that you do. We appreciate you so much!

🌟 Career Day at Hermosa Valley School! 🌟
Thursday, our middle school students had the incredible opportunity to hear from professionals representing a wide variety of careers and industries.

A huge THANK YOU to all of our volunteers who generously donated their time to invest in the next generation. Your stories, expertise, and encouragement made a lasting impact on our students!

Thank you to all our Young At Art docents and volunteers for all their hard work and providing creative opportunities for our students. Amazing to also celebrate the creativity of our middle school art students and their dedicated teacher, Ms. Ripley.

🥎⚾ Staff vs. 8th Grade Softball Game ⚾🥎
One of Hermosa Valley School's favorite traditions took place yesterday as our staff faced off against the Class of 2026 in the annual Staff vs. 8th Grade Softball Game!
The 8th graders came ready to compete, showing great sportsmanship, teamwork, and school spirit. After several exciting innings, the staff managed to hold onto their title with a 17-4 victory. 🏆

🌊🏆 Congratulations to our Hermosa Valley School Point Break Award Winners!

At our final Flag Ceremony of the school year, we recognized our middle school students who earned the coveted Point Break Award — the highest honor in our W.A.V.E. program.

The Perfect Wave represents the surfer who stays on the board the longest because they consistently demonstrate all of the qualities needed for success. These students don't just show one or two of our W.A.V.E. expectations—they embody them all, every day.

We are incredibly proud of these outstanding 6th-8th grade students for their leadership, character, and commitment to making Hermosa Valley School a positive place to learn and grow.
🌊 Congratulations, Point Break Winners! Keep riding the perfect wave! 🤙

Our 5th grade students had an amazing Career Day, exploring 10 different careers and learning firsthand about the many opportunities that exist beyond the classroom. Some of the careers featured included firefighting, physical therapy, podcast leadership, creative direction in immersive entertainment, and defense technology, along with many others.

Students asked thoughtful questions, discovered new interests, and gained valuable insight into the education, skills, and experiences needed for a variety of professions. Hearing directly from professionals helped bring learning to life and encouraged our students to start thinking about the many paths their futures could take.

A heartfelt thank you to all of our parent and community volunteers for sharing your time, expertise, and career journeys with our students. Your presentations inspired curiosity, sparked conversations, and helped our students dream big about their futures!
