Discover What Moves You

Maybe it’s art. Maybe it’s sports. Maybe it’s science, music, technology, a career pathway or something you haven’t tried yet.

You might not know what you love until you get the chance to experience it. Show up. Try something new. Find your fit.

Friday Night Lights have long been synonymous with high school football.

Whether you’re cheering for your school, coming back as a proud alum, supporting your community or simply love the game, Friday nights bring us together.

Across Los Angeles Unified, student athletes are taking the field and competing for more than a win. They’re playing for their teammates, their school and their community.

The lights are on. The stands are filling up. School pride is on the line.

Here are some of this week’s Friday Night Games to Watch.

Heading to a game this Friday? Tag us in your photos and videos so we can see how you’re showing your school pride.

School Is More Than a Classroom.
Some of the best parts of school happen outside a traditional lesson.

Joining a team. Performing on stage. Working on a project. Meeting a mentor. Finding a club you love. Taking your first step toward a career.

Show up and be part of it.

🌱 Look what happens when a community comes together!
Esperanza is officially greener! Nearly 30,000 square feet of asphalt has been transformed into a vibrant schoolyard with 35 new trees, native gardens, natural turf, nature play areas and shaded spaces where students can learn, play, explore and connect.

This beautiful new space is an investment in our students, their well-being and their future. And it’s part of a bigger commitment across Los Angeles Unified to create greener, healthier schools in communities throughout our District.

A huge thank you to Los Angeles Neighborhood Trust Neighborhood Trust, CNRA Urban Greening and CAL FIRE Green Schoolyard for your collaboration, partnership and shared vision to bring this transformation to life. And congratulations to the entire Esperanza community! 🌳

Together, we’re creating spaces where students can thrive and preparing them to help build a more sustainable future.
