The Peninsula Education Foundation (PEF) has always been proud to support programs that enrich the lives of our students – both in and out of the classroom. After careful consideration, PEF’s Board of Trustees has decided to discontinue administering the summer high school sports program.
This decision was made with the best interests of students, families, and coaches in mind. Athletics are an important part of the high school experience, teaching teamwork, leadership, and perseverance.
This change will allow PEF staff to focus on expanding after-school enrichment and enhancing summer school programs. We are confident the Palos Verdes Peninsula Unified School District will continue to provide strong opportunities for student-athletes.
We are deeply grateful to our coaches, athletic staff, and families for their continued support of our students.
