"This Monument is dedicated to the musician, Brent Faiyaz. Brent Faiyaz's music often explores themes of love, heartbreak, self-reflection, and vulnerability. His lyrics have a way of connecting with listeners who appreciate raw, honest reflections on relationships and inner struggles. They aren't just about surface-level emotions, often diving into the complexities of modern relationships, self-identity, and the tension that comes between desire and independence."
In January and February, Oceana participated in Teach Democracy’s Mock Trial competition at the Redwood City Courthouse. In Mock Trial, students take on the roles of attorneys, witnesses, bailiffs, court clerks, court artists, and court journalists for a criminal case; this year’s case was an alleged kidnapping of a candidate for the city council in a small town in California where the town and council candidates were divided over the issue of short-term rentals. Oceana’s team won 4 of their 6 trial competitions and did a wonderful job throughout the competition season.
Oceana's court artists, Aubrey DePriest and Adelina Lim, won first and second place in the Court Artist competition and our court journalist, Sarah Ghazzawi, won second place in the court journalist competition. Aubrey, Adelina, and Sarah are all able to attend the state competition in March. This is the second year in a row that all three students have won in the court artist and court journalist county competitions and were able to attend the state competition. Members of this year’s Mock Trial Team are: Sarah Ghazzawi, Benny Manio, Theodore Schimizzi, Ashley Rain Anacleto, Jiro De Guzman, Marina Sergeeva, Cesar Pumacayo, Savanna Valle, Jayden Vong, Justin Hsu, Aubrey Depriest, Emil Groth, Renzo Fukuda, Sofia Tong, Adelina Lim, Roger LeBlanc, Jeffrey Vasquez, Makayla Torres, and Alex Ha. Alamea Lewis was our alternate and tireless supporter throughout the competition. Our team’s amazing attorney coach is Marc Zafferano.
