The newest mural on campus proudly celebrates Octavia E. Butler Magnet and its distinction as a Magnet Schools of America Certified National Demonstration Magnet School. This prestigious honor reflects the dedication of our teachers, staff, families, and students in shaping “a different middle school experience.”

Be sure to check out the mural as you enter from Marengo Avenue in Pasadena – it’s a vibrant tribute to the  community’s vision and hard work.

A huge thank you to Paul Borne of Big City Studios (@misterbigcity) for bringing this vision to life with such beauty and creativity!
