Graduation was windy. Leading the procession to the time-honored strains of Pomp and Circumstance, down through the rows of plastic white chairs spanning the football field, my foremost concern wasn’t the fact that I was finally graduating high school, but rather that my cap and tassel – so carefully perched atop my head hours before…
With COVID-19 still at large in Los Angeles County, and with most high school students still unvaccinated, Culver City High School (CCHS)’s plan for a return to in-person learning has been met with widespread pushback. As the Los Angeles Unified School District has begun preparing for its own reopening, CCHS and its associated elementary and…
