Our New Building Has Opened

We are enjoying our new building

We recently celebrated a successful and exciting day as some of our students officially began learning in our new school building! The transition was smooth, and the energy on campus was filled with curiosity, pride, and enthusiasm.

Students who moved into the new building were eager to explore their new classrooms and learning spaces. Teachers took time to help students get familiar with their surroundings, creating a welcoming and supportive environment from the very start. The bright, modern classrooms and updated spaces quickly helped students feel comfortable and ready to learn.

Throughout the day, instruction continued seamlessly. Students stayed engaged in lessons, participated in collaborative activities, and demonstrated flexibility as they adjusted to their new surroundings. It was wonderful to see how responsibly they navigated the new stairs and spaces.

Meanwhile, the rest of our students continued their learning in their current classrooms, maintaining strong routines and a productive school day across the entire campus. Both groups of students showed adaptability and focus, making the day a success for everyone.

Staff worked together to ensure a smooth transition, prioritizing safety, organization, and student support every step of the way. Their teamwork and preparation made a noticeable difference in how well the day flowed.

We are incredibly proud of our students and staff for their positive attitudes and flexibility during this exciting transition. As more students gradually move into different spaces, we look forward to continuing this momentum and creating even more wonderful learning experiences.

A "Cheesy" Success: Student Chefs at Rolling Hills Secure Second Consecutive Cook-off Title

Rolling Hills Middle School wins second Expanded Learning Lunchroom Cook-off student cooking competition.

The winning team from Rolling Hills Middle School pose with their awards and Expanded Learning staff.

And the winner is…..Cheesy Pasta (a paccheri pasta dish) from the Rolling Hills Middle School team composed of Amy, Liya, and Serena.

Student culinary teams from the Expanded Learning programs at Campbell School of Innovation (CSI), Monroe Middle School, Rolling Hills Middle School, and Sherman Oaks Dual Language Immersion School competed April 1, 2026 in the fifth annual Campbell Union School District (CUSD) Lunchroom Cook-off. 

Not only did the team from Rolling Hills Middle School earn a trophy and bragging rights as the defending champion, but their winning recipe will be added to the school lunch menu.

Leading up to the competition, students representing their school and Expanded Learning program learned about nutrition, food handling and safety, and basic culinary techniques. Additionally, they spent time putting together presentations and practicing their public speaking and presentation skills. The competition was judged by Superintendent, Dr. Viramontez; Board President, William Slade; former Le Cordon Bleu instructor, The International Culinary Center Coordinator, and season three Chopped winner, Chef Marc Pavlovic; and student representatives from Monroe, Sherman Oaks and CSI.

Past winners have included:

2022 - Spicy Chicken Ramen - Monroe Middle School

2023 - Tortas de Asada - Sherman Oaks

2024 - Enchiladas Verdes - Sherman Oaks

2025 - Pesto Pasta - Rolling Hills Middle School

The paccheri pasta dish included all five main food groups: dairy (cheese and heavy whipping cream), protein (Italian sausage), fruits (tomatoes), vegetables (onion, garlic, and fennel), and grains (paccheri pasta). The students also had to ensure the recipes met the required nutritional guidelines and limitations on sodium and fats. When asked how the team decided on a name for their dish, with a giggle they told the story of how one iteration of the dish ended up with more cheese than the recipe originally called for, “it was an accident and that became really popular, so we kept it”, noted the young chefs.
