Malibu High principal outlines curriculum, wellness center and PBL plans for new campus
Summary
Adam Almeda, Malibu High School principal, presented the new campus’s ribbon cutting, wellness center and a semester plan to expand project‑based learning and grade‑level team supports.
Adam Almeda, principal of Malibu High School, presented the new Malibu High campus to the board and described a semester‑by‑semester roll‑out for project‑based learning (PBL), increased teacher collaboration and embedded social‑emotional supports.
Almeda highlighted the campus ribbon cutting and said the wellness center is now integrated into the building. "We've had a very successful ribbon cutting... christen our new building," he said, and described the campus’s flexible spaces as central to plans for PBL units and teacher co‑design. He outlined an implementation timeline: launch grade‑level teams in August–September, plan PBL lessons in October, implement lessons in November and host a PBL showcase in December.
Almeda detailed support strategies, including biweekly leadership team reviews, regular student check‑ins using attendance/assessment data, and targeted interventions such as referrals to the wellness center or counseling. The board and attendees praised the new campus and acknowledged the community and Malibu Education Foundation’s fundraising role.
