Behind the scenes from Back to School Night 2026. We're so thankful for this opportunity to welcome families to campus and share all that's ahead for the school year.

Today, we began celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month on campus. This year's theme, Together, We Are More, speaks directly to our Scholarship Prep community.

So many of our students, families, and staff bring Hispanic and Latino heritage into our classrooms every day, through language, food, music, and traditions passed down across generations.

Through October 15th, we're looking forward to sharing more of what that looks like in action at Scholarship Prep! Unidos Somos Más.

Did you know? Scholarship Prep Orange County has four sister campuses across Southern California, and one of them just had an incredible two weeks in the news.

Our Scholarship Prep South Bay Dolphins were featured on Spectrum News 1, in the Los Angeles Times, and on ABC7, all for the same three things: Morning Meetings, where every Scholar starts the day feeling seen and ready to learn, a Family Resource Center stocked with what families need most, and staff trained to help Scholars name and manage big feelings.

These programs and supports are not just a South Bay thing. It’s the same way we show up intentionally for all Scholars, right here in Santa Ana, led by your own incredible staff!

Scholarship Prep Orange County's futsal arena has seen some serious competition lately. Our 7th and 8th grade Stingrays spend recess like the World Cup never ended!

Scholars opened the school focused on the Team Spirit character trait. Watch recess, and you'll see it everywhere: the extra pass, a cheer for a save, and hearing “good game” when the bell rings.

Final score: Team Spirit, undefeated.

Sneak peek 👀 The Robert Potter Memorial Library and Exploration Center has a whole new look at our 17th Street campus. The reading loft our Stingray Scholars love is back, tucked into a fresh layout that includes a space for small group work and of course, a foosball table.

This space is just getting started. We've got some exciting programs planned that are going to make this the spot to be on campus this year. Full details coming soon! 📚

At a recent recess, our Stingrays explored 3D art, designing their own stuffed pizza craft. They colored and designed their crust, cut out paper toppings to glue on, then stuffed and stapled it all together to create a pizza with real thickness.

Art is one of the extracurricular recess options offered every day, giving Scholars the chance to explore creativity alongside dance, soccer, basketball, or free play.

How are a paragraph and a sandwich similar? 🥪

According to 6th-grade teacher Ms. Yeh, more than you'd think! Bread on top, bread on the bottom, and all the good stuff packed in the middle. That's the analogy used to teach paragraph structure to our Stingray Scholars this week.

The opening and closing sentences hold everything together. The middle is where the meat goes. Scholars are already using this method to check their own writing: does this paragraph have both slices of bread, or is the filling about to fall out?

We know our Stingrays' writing will be stacked with all the goodness of a footlong sub! 🥖

Our new playground is officially 3rd grade approved. ✅

These Stingrays wasted no time testing out the climbing structure, racing down the slides, and finding new ways to play with everything in between.

So You Think You Can Dance, Stingrays?

We KNOW you can dance. That’s why Ms. Aurora is here providing an opportunity each recess for our Scholars to step into the world of Performing Arts in the Legacy Room.

From hip hop to social dances, our Scholars are learning to express themselves through movement.
