North Tustin once again proved its status as an academic
powerhouse. The graduating 8th grade class had not just one,
but four Valedictorians – each earning the highest possible GPA
(4.53). The campus fielded the #2 and #4 debate teams at the
National Modified Parliamentary Debate Championship, as well
as the top individual debater. North Tustin also left its mark at
the Orange County Spelling Bee where a student reached the
finals, finishing in the top ten.
Last year saw another STEM-tastic performance from our
Eagles. They collected one dozen awards at the OC Science and
Engineering Fair, while one student took second place in the
state for their entry in the Electronics and Electromagnetics field.
But beyond competitions, students demonstrated
how to take what they learned in the
classroom and apply it in the real world.
A prime example was a student who
created a virtual reality tool to help
alleviate anxiety in children undergoing
dental procedures — an idea that was
subsequently presented at a conference
of over 200 physicians and dentists,
including the president of the Pediatric
Dental Safety Board.

In keeping with the compassionate and caring
culture that North Tustin is known for, a spirit of
generosity was on full display in 2022-23. Students
engaged in multiple service and outreach projects
to benefit those in need. Among them were a
Thanksgiving food drive, a toy drive for military
families, and fundraisers and collection drives for
victims of Hurricane Ian and the earthquakes in
Turkey and Syria.
