Of course the high schools on the East Side still have finals week and graduations to complete. Rosie is lucky to finally leave the year round schedule behind them as they return to traditional schedule for the first time in eighteen years. Here at Garfield, the mighty Bulldogs know no rest as our school year officially ends on June 30 and our new school year with the first day of classes begins the next day on July 1.
So here’s a shout out to all of our graduating seniors and especially those whose academic success, in spite of budget cutbacks, deteriorating facilities, arson damage, and a crazy year round schedule has gained them admission to some of the most prestigious universities in the nation. Among the schools this year’s Garfield graduates will be attending next fall:
Yale
Princeton
Duke
University of Chicago
U.C. Berkeley
U.C. Los Angeles
U.C. San Diego
U.C. Santa Barbara
Cal Poly San Luis Obispo
various California State Universities and community colleges
How about some pride and appreciation for East Side youth coming out strong and showing up smart!
Whoa don’t jump the gun there yet Al. There is STILL ONE last graduationg happening Tuesday at 11:30 in front of City Hall in Downtown L.A. I’m working on a post.
