About this Article

Elk Grove High School’s annual Japanese Exchange Program has reached the quarter-century mark with the March 8-22 visit of 10 exchange students and two faculty members from its Japanese sister high schools, Ashikodai and Ashitandai. In June, Elk Grove orchestra director Bill Baar, cello instructor Gail Baar and nine host students will travel to Ashikaga, Japan, for the second half of the program.
