We’re proud to celebrate the incredible work of WSOC’s High School Hydrogen Fuel Cell Car Team, who are advancing to the State Championship on April 6 in San Pedro, CA!

This dedicated group of students has spent the year designing and building a high-performance, hydrogen-powered fuel cell vehicle from the ground up. Combining creativity, engineering, and teamwork, the team focused on maximizing efficiency and performance while embracing cutting-edge clean energy technology.

Their car is powered by a hydrogen fuel cell system that converts hydrogen into electricity through an electrochemical reaction — emitting only water vapor as a byproduct. The students designed and assembled every part of the vehicle, from its lightweight aerodynamic frame to the precise drivetrain and electronic systems that make it race-ready.

This project is not just about competition — it’s a hands-on exploration of renewable energy and sustainable innovation, and a shining example of what happens when passion meets purpose.

Congratulations to the team — we’ll be cheering you on at State!

Our campus came alive with the vibrant sounds, sights, and flavors of cultures from around the world as we celebrated our second International Friendship Day! From a mesmerizing Ballet Folklórico performance to the powerful rhythms of Korean drummers, Bavarian dancers, Polynesian traditions, and a mariachi band, our students experienced the beauty of global heritage firsthand.

We were also honored to have performances representing Persia, India, and California’s First People from the Cahuilla Heritage, each sharing their unique and rich traditions. The celebration extended beyond the stage, as our school community came together to provide an incredible cultural feast, with families sharing beloved dishes from around the world.

This event was a true reflection of our commitment to global awareness, unity, and the joy of cultural exchange. Thank you to everyone who made this unforgettable day possible!

At our Waldorf school, 8th grade is a year of transformation—both in personal growth and in learning! As students dive into the theme of Revolutions in History, they explore the bold ideas and pivotal figures who shaped the world.

One of their artistic projects? Pastel drawings of the Founding Fathers. Through this creative process, they connect deeply with the ideals of leadership, change, and resilience that defined the American Revolution. The soft, layered textures of pastels allow students to bring historical figures to life while reflecting on the struggles and triumphs of those who fought for independence.

By combining history and art, Waldorf education nurtures both intellect and imagination, helping students engage with the past in a meaningful way—one that sparks curiosity, critical thinking, and a love for learning.
