Latest News

McGill School of Success has been quite active recently, putting on events and programs focused on the community and keeping kids safe. Last December, the San Diego Police Foundation teamed up with the school to give talks about internet safety. They gave different talks to the younger and older kids so everyone could understand.

The school also threw an AttenDANCE party to cheer on kids who had perfect attendance – a fun way to reward them for showing up every day! They also gave leadership awards to students who showed great character and being good people is something the school really pushes.

Looking ahead, McGill School of Success is planning a Winter Wonderland show. It'll have singing and dancing, and it's a chance for the students to show off what they can do. All in all, McGill is really focused on safety, getting the community involved, and celebrating when students do well!
