This Discovery Week, some Westridge students trekked up the trail of Macchu Picchu in Peru while others learned about Los Angeles’ vibrant cinematic history. Each trip, whether local, regional, or international, gave students the opportunity to explore a new place with curiosity. Throughout it all, students grew closer together, building stronger friendships and making new memories. Compiling the student experience in various photo galleries, here are Spyglass’ highlights of students’ favorite places and discoveries.
