LA MUSIC CRITICS AWARD JOURNEY TEACHER

Billy Alexander, Journey's guitar instructor, received 2 prestigious LA Music Critic Awards for 2013 Best Producer and Best Country Album. Our students are blessed to have such top-notch and dedicated Specialists. Although Billy only receives a fraction of the money he makes in private industry, he provides music classes and after-school lessons for a small fraction of studio prices. Let's be sure to appreciate Billy and his colleagues.

We thought you would appreciate some photos related to Chloe's 8th Grade Project. Chloe, we're proud of you making clean water a reality for thousands of Nicaraguan villagers. You have inspired us to give more to others, use our water sparingly, and continue investing in rainwater harvesting projects on campus. THANK YOU!

ETHICS BEFORE DEVICES!

Four years ago, Journey was one of the first schools in the state to pioneer Digital Media Literacy as a graduation requirement. Instead of prematurely stocking classrooms with expensive smart-boards and other alluring technologies, we decided it was most important to first allocate instructional time and resources to weekly Cyber Civics classes. Click here to read how Journey's students are reaping the rewards.
