🔥Guest speakers are always a welcomed addition to any high school class. 🎥Award-Winning Director and Producer Wesley "Wuz Good" Armstrong visited Compton High School recently and spoke to Mr. Jones’ Audio Production class about his job and his creative process. As part of the visit, he showed the class his newest film, Vigilante, which is currently being screened at film festivals. 🎬He brought along the main actors from the film including Khleo Thomas (Holes, Friday After Next, Walking Tall), Maestro Harrell (The Wire, Fear the Walking Dead, Teen Titans GO! To the Movies), Jaden Martin (After Earth, Root of All Evil), and Tim Kennedy (NCIS, New Jack Fury), who also spoke to the class about their jobs as actors. During Wesley’s talk, he talked about making a film starts with photos, as 1 second of film is 24 frames of photos. He led the class in a thought-provoking exercise where they got in groups and took 6 photos to tell a story. Then they showed the photos to Wesley and he tried to tell their story from the photos. As part of his class, Wesley encouraged the class to be creative, stay motivated, meet as many people as they can, and attach themselves to people who are doing better than they are. He and the actors then stayed after and answered individual questions from the Compton scholars until the last one left. Wesley has more than 17 years of film and entertainment experience. He has directed multi-award-winning film festival shorts, over $4 million of branded entertainment for companies such as Lyft and T-Mobile, and has amassed 3 million social media followers along the way, being named a "game-changing influencer" by Bloomberg Magazine. #reallifelearning #mentors #mentorship #speakerseries #filmmaking #directing #producing #ComptonUnified #Elevate

Today, CUSD’s BSA Department hosted scholars from Emerson, Kelly, Kennedy, King, Jefferson, Tibby, and Washington Elementary Schools to experience an interactive workshop from Cabrillo Marine Aquarium exploring a tide pool and its creatures. Entitled, "The Greatest Fish Story Ever Told, Treasures in the Tidepool,” scholars had a wonderful experience learning about sea animals and their habitat. Students touched the animals in a large fish tank and got to look at different shells and remains of other sea creatures. In addition, they toured the CUSD District offices, met Superintendent Dr. Darin Brawley, and learned more about what the staff does to help run CUSD. #CabrilloMarineAquarium #Aquarium #tidepools #seacreatures #comptonunified #elevate

This week, Compton Unified’s award-winning 21 Elementary Schools and 5 Middle Schools welcomed students and their families to Back-to-School Nights. Families got to tour our incredible campuses and look inside the colorful classrooms! Our inspiring principals, teachers, and staff met with parents and families, and shared what scholars will experience this year in the school and classroom. Back to School Nights are crucial events in the academic calendar, serving as a bridge between schools, parents, and teachers. For our Compton Unified schools, these nights provide an opportunity to establish a sense of community and shared purpose. Administrators outlined the school’s goals, values, and expectations for the academic year to parents and families. Schools also showcased their resources, programs, and extracurricular activities, fostering an environment where students feel supported and parents feel confident in the excellent educational experience their children are receiving. For our CUSD parents, Back to School Night is an invaluable opportunity to connect with their child’s teachers and gain insights into the curriculum and classroom expectations. They had the opportunity to ask questions, understand grading policies, and learn about any upcoming projects or assessments. This helped parents to better support their children’s learning at home by aligning their expectations with those of the school. #Backtoschool #BacktoSchoolNight #MeetYourTeachers #Seeyourchildrensschool #awardwinningschools #ComptonUnified #elevate

Grammy-nominated singer, songwriter, and producer Maejor Brandon Michael Green and Timothy Hinshaw, Free Lunch Founder & CEO, spoke to a packed Compton High School audio production class today about their career journeys, offering invaluable business and career advice to the scholars. In a talk titled "MUSIC HAD MY BACK,” the two discussed how music was there during difficult times and how they used music to overcome the obstacles in life. Tim grew up in Compton and saw tumultuous times along the way. But he carved out a career working various jobs at Vans, Fender Musical Instruments Corporation, Amazon Music, and just launched his own company, Free Lunch, with Amazon. He’s worked with some of the biggest music acts in the business and helped produce Kendrick Lamar’s ground-breaking sold-out Juneteenth Pop Out Show. Maejor talked about coming from Detroit and making beats, getting more involved with the music industry, and then having a cancer diagnosis change his entire life. He’s overcome it today and is a thriving producer. The class concluded with Compton High School scholars playing inspiring songs for the two, explaining their inspiration, and getting instant feedback. In the end, scholars left with a much better understanding of what it takes to be in the music industry, how to prepare for the business, and how to follow your passion, whether it be music, art, or something else. #musiccareers #mentors #musicindustry #ComptonUnified #Elevate
