College Decision Day at PCA

Today was a proud and inspiring moment at PAL Charter Academy as nineteen outstanding seniors gathered in the MPR to celebrate College Decision Day with their families and friends. Each student committed to continuing their educational journey through higher education—marking a significant milestone in their academic and personal growth.

Executive Director Dwaine Radden Sr. shared with the audience, “This is the largest college-bound class since the inception of PAL Charter Academy. The Board and I salute each of you and will always be here to support you.”

The atmosphere was filled with pride, encouragement, and hope as the seniors were celebrated not only for their decision to pursue college but also for the resilience, dedication, and hard work that brought them to this moment.
“Today we celebrate not just a decision, but a declaration of hope, ambition, and belief in a brighter future,” said Upward Bound Director Jaimari Young. “Congratulations to every senior choosing the path of higher education—you are investing in the power of your potential.”
As these students embark on the next chapter of their lives, we honor their achievements and look forward to watching them become the leaders, innovators, and changemakers of tomorrow.

Here’s to new beginnings, bold dreams, and the exciting road ahead.

Teacher Appreciation Week was a heartfelt celebration of the outstanding educators who pour their passion, time, and care into shaping young lives every day.
All week long, our incredible teachers were showered with appreciation-from sweet treats to meaningful gifts that reminded them just how valued they are. Each gesture was a small token of the deep gratitude we feel for their tireless dedication, creativity, and unwavering support of our students.

The week concluded with a well-deserved lunch at El Torito, where the teachers had the chance to relax, laugh, and enjoy each other's company outside the classroom. Ms. Fernandez the Associate Head of School shared, “Our PAL teachers go above and beyond-not just as educators, but as mentors, role models, and leaders. Their impact reaches far beyond academics, and we are so lucky to have such an extraordinary team guiding and inspiring our students every day.”

Thank you, PAL teachers— you truly are the heart of our school!

PCA Middle School Field Trip to the Aquarium of the Pacific

What a whale of an experience! PCA Middle School students had an unforgettable field trip to the Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach, California.
From posing in front of the stingray aquarium to marveling at the underground Seals & Sea Lions exhibit, students enjoyed every moment of exploring marine life up close. One highlight was seeing the life-size model of a whale—giving students a powerful perspective on just how massive these creatures really are.

For many, this was their first time experiencing one of the largest enclosed underground aquariums in the United States, home to over 3,000 species of fish from around the world.

This field trip was not only educational but also an exciting adventure into the wonders of the ocean!
