Principal's Message Archives Homepage

Dear LACHSA Community and Visitors,

When I began as principal in 2008 I was aware of the importance of effective communication. I wanted to share with members of the LACHSA community--students, parents, alumni, and supporters--not only LACHSA-related updates , but my broader vision for the direction of the school and how each of us has a role in shaping that vision.

Here, for the first time accessible on www.lachsa.net, are all of those messages and more. I hope these will serve to inform, but also inspire, as these historical documents chronicle our journey together with one of the most dynamic arts high schools anywhere.

Enjoy!
