8th graders, the night was yours!
Some of you have been Stingray Scholar โLifersโ since kindergarten and we have watched you grow up in these hallways. But whether you joined this community in 2018 or just this year, Scholarship Prep has shaped you the same way: take care of yourself, take care of others, take care of Scholarship Prep.
Tonight, that message gets a little louder. You are now ready to Lead with Love in your community!
Congratulations to the Scholarship Prep Orange County 8th Grade Class of 2026. We know youโll show high school that youโre built different.

Stingray Scholars, you did it!
You learned your letters, sounded out your first words, counted, shared, and learned how to be a good friend all school year long.
Tonight, you walked across the promotion stage in front of your families, friends, and your Scholarship Prep teachers, and we could not be more proud!
Congratulations to the promoting kindergarten class of 2026. First grade is waiting, and you are more than ready.

Our Scholarship Prep Orange County Tk-3rd grade Scholars and staff gathered in the courtyard this week to release more than just balloons.
Each one carried something written down: a worry, a fear, a burden they were ready to let go of. Then, together, they let them go.
It was a simple act, led by School Counselor Ms. Rodriguez, that marked the end of Mental Health Awareness Month and reminded our students that they are part of a safe and supportive community. That no one has to carry their struggles alone.
This is not just something we say at Scholarship Prep. It's something we practice, classroom by classroom, day by day.
(PS: We care about the planet too... these balloons were biodegradable.)

Spring Semester Awards, but make it 4th-8th grade!
Weโre so proud of all of the growth and hard work that has happened this second semester, Scholars!
Whether this was the first or 18th time you walked the famed red carpet, congrats to every student who received recognition for perfect attendance, English-Language Arts, Math, Soccer, Art, and Basketball!
Two campuses. One stage. The Scholarship Prep Orange County and South Bay Jazz Bands brought it all to The Mint in Los Angeles alongside jazz bands from eight schools across Southern California.
Before the big night, our South Bay and OC Scholars came together for a joint rehearsal, played for each other, pushed each other, and walked away teaching each other new techniques. That camaraderie carried straight into the showcase.
At our Santa Ana campus, Jazz Empowers offers bucket drumming and piano for elementary Scholars and jazz band for 6th, 7th, and 8th graders, all as part of the free Scholarship Prep experience.
Three years with Jazz Empowers, and this was our most exciting showcase yet! We are so proud of our Scholars. Donโt miss their final performance of the year, May 26th at the 17th St. campus beginning at 4:45 PM ๐ท๐ฅ๐น
