As part of our school's participation with the Kakehashi Project - The Bridge for Tomorrow, East-West staff and students will be hosting a delegation of twenty two students and three faculty members from Nishio High School. The group will be arriving at our school on Thursday, October 31 and will be paired up with their homestay family.
As part of the Kakehashi Project, our students kept a photo journal detailing their experience in Japan with the hopes of building better relations and global interest between both countries.
