Century High counselor credited with helping scores of students pay for, attend college |
When Century High School counselor Beau Menchaca saw that just one in five students at the campus was applying for financial aid for college, one of the most important steps in the application process, he decided to get busy.
Five years ago, Menchaca began meeting with fellow counselors, school administrators, parent groups and community members with a goal of creating a school environment at the Santa Ana campus where every student would apply for Cal Grants and other state and federal financial aid.

California schools are short of teachers. One reason? They’re going to Texas |

The union that represents Los Angeles Unified School District teachers says its members have been working for a year without a contract. That's why the union has escalated its demands, with members rallying near City Hall Thursday afternoon. The teachers want higher pay and smaller class sizes, among other changes. If the district and the union do not agree on a contract, union representatives say they may hold a strike authorization vote in the fall. |
