Día de los Mu***os Celebration at RDP! 🕯️💀

Higher Learning Academy proudly hosted a vibrant Día de los Mu***os celebration at RDP, featuring traditional dances by Calidanza Dance Company, delicious food, face painting, a beautiful ofrenda, and a special student performance. ✨

Día de los Mu***os is a cherished tradition that honors and celebrates the lives of loved ones who have passed. We’re so proud of our Brown Issues Club for leading this meaningful event and bringing our community together in remembrance, culture, and joy. 💚💛

College access starts early at Gateway! 🎓 Today, 160 Higher Learning Academy 6th–8th graders visited Sacramento State, where they explored campus life, learned about student resources, and imagined what their own future in higher education could look like.

Say hello to the next generation of Hornets 🐝💛💚
