Field Trip

For the November all-school field trip, we visited the Golden Gate Bridge. Afterwards, students hiked from the bridge to Baker Beach along the California Coastal Trial and the Batteries to Bluffs Trial. Students explored (dismantled) World War II-era anti-aircraft machine gun nests while taking in spectacular views of the bay and Pacific Ocean. After eating lunch at Marshall’s Beach, students finished the hike at Baker Beach.

USF Campus Tour

On November 17th, WIS Seniors toured the University of San Francisco campus. Receiving an official tour by a Student Ambassador, the seniors explored the halls and hangouts of the USF students. Not surprisingly, the dorm rooms have some of the best views of the City!
