Dear LACHSA Community,

Our commencement ceremony or graduation is the capstone event for our students at LACHSA.  This celebration, marking the completion of this major achievement in the young lives of our artist-scholars, is unique to commencement ceremonies in its grandeur and majesty. 

The typical high school commencement, usually presented in an auditorium or gymnasium and featuring adequate pomp and circumstance, presents the graduating class, but little else.  LACHSA's graduation elevates this experience exponentially.  With Walt Disney Concert Hall as our setting and our graduates our focus, LACHSA's graduation explodes with the energy and dynamism of LACHSA itself.  Our graduating class, featuring the broad array of artistic disciplines, shines with unrivaled brilliance.  Our students are simply at their best as the artistry of every graduate is miraculously featured.

While LACHSA's graduation is rightly focused on the graduating class, All members of our community--from our newly accepted families to our alumni--are encouraged to join in this amazing celebration.  All families at every grade level are welcome and encouraged to attend this year's ceremony.  LACHSA's graduation is above all else a celebration of our amazing community. 

Directly preceding graduation this year will be a pre-graduation Alumni Tea.  This reception is open to all, but is designed as a LACHSA all-years alumni event.  In partnership with the alumni association, alumni from throughout our history are invited to renew connections, visit with faculty and staff, and reengage with LACHSA.  I hope that this alumni gathering will become a new tradition at LACHSA.

LACHSA's commencement is being sponsored by the generous support and dedication of the LACHSA Parent Council.  Our Parent Council has crafted a plan to sustain LACHSA's graduation (see below).  To meet the needs to graduates and their families, this plan is very detailed.  Please read over the instructions very carefully.

On behalf of the entire LACHSA community, I wish to thank the LACHSA Parent Council.  Their steadfast commitment to and support of this event is essential for this tradition to continue.

I look forward to seeing you ALL at graduation this year!

Sincerely,

George Simpson
Principal

A note from the LACHSA Parent Council 

Gratefully, the LA County Board of Supervisors have granted access to the Disney Concert Hall at no rental cost; however, labor charges and associated fees will exceed $35,000 for this years' graduation.  It is our sincere hope that the LACHSA community will rally and meet, if not exceed the challenge of raising the necessary funds.  In an effort to hold the venue we are offering the tickets ahead of time so please tell everyone you know to attend, donate, and support in every possible way.  We rely only on ticket donations exclusively to reach the $35,000 goal.
