The first-ever graduating class from North Hollywood’s East Valley High School, with 190 students, matriculated on June 18 in a two-hour ceremony which included speeches from Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) Board Member Tamar Galatzan and LAUSD Local District 2 Superintendent Alma Pena-Sanchez, Councilmember Tom LaBonge (District 4) and Senior Class President April Molina, who worked with Galatzan’s office to coordinate the event.
East Valley High School opened in 2006 as part of the largest school building program in the district’s history. More than 132 new schools are being built to accommodate explosive growth in the city’s school-age population. The primary goal of new construction is to provide every student the opportunity to attend a two-semester neighborhood school.
