College

Did you know that district-wide, only 16% of LAUSD students that graduate in four years complete the required college entry coursework? This rate is significantly lower for students living in South LA.

This Saturday, the Central Alameda, South Central, CANNDU, Voices of 90037 and Zapata/King Neighborhood Council(Forming Committee) are sponsoring a College Prep Workshop for students throughout the region.

When attending the workshop, please bring your high school transcripts and a writing pad and pen or pencil.
