Canyon student takes to skies alone |
|
While some students were lazing over the winter holiday break, Mia Kuyumjian reached a milestone: the Canyon High School junior completed her first solo flight at Fullerton Airport. Mia is part of the CHS Aviation Program headed by Steve Smith, and completed Aviation I and II classes at Canyon before passing her FAA private pilot written exam last spring. |

Placentia-Yorba Linda district asking state to fund schools better |
|
Of the dozens of resolutions adopted by local governing boards each year, easily one of the most significant was approved on a unanimous vote last week by the elected trustees of the Placentia-Yorba Linda Unified School District. The resolution calls for “full and fair funding” of the state’s public schools. Specifically, local trustees want the state legislature to fund schools at the national average or higher by 2020 and at or above the average of the Top 10 states nationally by 2025. |

Schools and lockers: No longer the right combination |
|
It is a full five months into the school year, and Isabel Echavarria, a junior at Bethesda-Chevy Chase High School in Maryland, hasn’t used her locker once. She’s not even sure she has one. Sean Radley, a sophomore at Tesoro High in Southern California, thinks there may be one book in his locker, but he rarely visits it. Nekko Jones and Dwayne Burrell, freshmen at Cardozo Education Campus in Washington, were assigned lockers at the beginning of the year, but neither knows where his is. |

The next 'Hamilton'? High school students write musicals about history |
|
Usually, when high school students are interested in theater, they have to perform works written by other people – but the eleventh graders at West Adams Preparatory High's School of the Arts had the opportunity to write shows themselves. Over the past semester, the students met with teaching artists from the Foundation for New American Musicals, to turn what they were learning about American history into 10 minute shows, complete with scripts and songs. |
