Student profile: Sunburst Youth Academy helps Hannah create her own path |
|
Our latest OCDE Student Profile shares the story of Hannah, who recently graduated from the Sunburst Youth Academy. Operated by the California National Guard in partnership with OCDE, Sunburst is a community high school for at-risk youth. Enrolled cadets spend more than five months in a military-style environment that helps them develop leadership, pride and confidence as they earn high school credits.
“I’ve accomplished way more than I thought I would,” says Hannah, who hopes to become a police officer and make her community a safer place.

At Arm’s Length: CUSD Maintains its Distance from Nonprofit Organization |
|
CUSD maintains its distance from the nonprofit organization that formerly shared its name and whose former director faces charges of embezzlement. For about the past year, the Capistrano Unified School District has been working to distance itself from a nonprofit group whose former director has been accused of embezzling funds that were raised to benefit local students and schools. Up until last year, the nonprofit, which was established in 1992, shared its name with the district, operating as the Capistrano Unified School District Foundation. However, other than the names, the entities are totally separate, officials from both camps have stressed.
