Students at Point Loma High Engage in Q&A with Senator Adam Schiff

On October 15, 2026, Senator Adam Schiff, a Democrat from California, addressed students at Point Loma High School as part of a high school civics project led by senior Molly Gallagher. This initiative, aligned with the office of Rep. Sara Jacobs, D-51, prompted an invitation from San Diego Unified School District Superintendent Fabiola Bagula. Schiff is noted as the first U.S. senator to visit a district school in 13 years.

During his visit, Schiff contrasted today’s world with the one he experienced at their age, emphasizing the importance of navigating challenges posed by social media. He asserted the necessity for educational courses in high school, possibly starting in middle school, to help students discern truth online. Schiff answered multiple questions from students, including one about his recently proposed Promoting Authenticity with Influencer Disclaimers Act, aimed at ensuring online influencers disclose their sponsorships. Later, in a news conference, he discussed confidence in election integrity ahead of the midterm elections, highlighting preparations made since 2020.
