Then, they connected their knowledge of recycling with literacy by reading Rainbow Fish.

Summer Academy brings so many benefits!

In fall 2029, construction of an all-new Whittier Elementary and Woodland Early Learning Center will begin at Woodland's current site.

The King Empowerment Campus is coming together!

We're excited to share a small glimpse of what will soon be a new early learning space, elementary school, and family resource center—all under one roof.

You may notice the lower floor is green and the upper spaces are blue. This is to mimic tree canopy below and sky and space up above.
