The English Language Learners (ELL) class embarked on a class excursion to the USS Missouri at Pearl Harbor.

Chaperoned by Japanese language and ELL teacher Masa Yamaguchi and Chinese language teacher Lilly Zhang-Micco, students absorbed the rich history of World War II at the site of the surrender of the empire of Japan in 1945.

Yamaguchi said, “We have over 40 overseas students enrolled here. I thought it was a good idea to take them to Pearl Harbor to visit the USS Missouri and learn about United States history. The goal was to teach them in a way that they can see everything first-hand and be engaged.”
