Happy National Hispanic Heritage Month and California Latino Heritage Month! Almost 20% of the U.S. population and nearly 40% of Californians identify as Latino/a/e/x or Hispanic (or by another related term like Chicano, Latin American or by country of family origin). “Latino/Hispanic” is an ethnic categorization, not a racial one, so Latinos come in all shapes, sizes and colors – they can be Black, White, Indigenous, Mestizo or even of Asian ancestry – and are more likely to indicate “multiracial” on the US Census than any other demographic group. They’ve been in the lands we now call “the United States” since before the United States existed and still one of the fastest growing demographic groups. September 15 to October 15 marks Hispanic/Latino Heritage Month, and what a great opportunity to celebrate the contributions Latinos have made to every aspect of American society and culture, and the hard work, ingenuity and determination that continue to enrich all of our lives.

¡Feliz Mes Nacional de la Herencia Hispana y Mes de la Herencia Latina en California! Casi el 20% de la población de los EE.UU. y casi el 40% de los californianos se identifican como latinos/as/es/x o hispanos (o con otro término relacionado como chicano, latinoamericano o por país de origen familiar). “Latino/hispano” es una categoría étnica, no racial, por eso los latinos vienen en todas formas, tamaños y colores - pueden ser negros, blancos, indígenas, mestizos o incluso de descendencia asiática - y son más probable que cualquier otro grupo demográfico que indiquen “multirraciales” en el censo. Han estado en las tierras que ahora llamamos “los Estados Unidos” desde antes de que Estados Unidos existiera y siguen siendo uno de los grupos demográficos de más rápido crecimiento. Del 15 de septiembre hasta el 15 de octubre se celebra el Mes de la Herencia Hispana/Latina, y qué gran oportunidad para reconocer las contribuciones que los latinos han hecho a cada aspecto de la sociedad y la cultura estadounidenses, y su trabajo duro, su ingenio y su determinación continúan enriqueciendo todas nuestras vidas.

Through work I had the opportunity to attend the 2026 Empower Community Schools Summit organized by the State Transformational Assistance Center (STAC). CCUSD doesn’t qualify for state community schools grants but we can still learn a lot from the community schools approach, especially about valuing and uplifting student and community voices in meaningful ways.

Happy Rosh Hashanah to all those who celebrate. Wishing you peace and happiness in the coming year!

Amazing promotion and graduation ceremonies yesterday for CCMS 8th graders (x3!) and at the CCUSD Adult School. And such wonderful bookends - 8th graders rising to all the adventures of high school and adults whose educations were interrupted or who never had the opportunity at all deciding that now was the time to finish. Congratulations to both groups of students, and gratitude to the teachers and families of both for your support and encouragement. Looking forward today’s big ceremony for CCHS graduating seniors at West LA College!

It’s been a busy couple of weeks for CCHS and CPHS seniors and families, and a proud week for me as a school board member. We have such amazing students who have been well prepared for college, careers and life and are ready to go take on the world! Can’t wait for the big graduation ceremony next week at West LA College.

Pictures from the Kente Graduation Celebration, the Lavender Graduation Celebration*, and the La Fuerza Unida Graduation Celebration. (I couldn’t make it to the Asian American, Pacific Islander, Native Hawaiian Graduation Celebration but congratulations to all who participated!)

*Out of respect for the participants, I won’t post pics of the Lavender grads because not ever student has a supportive family and, while in Culver City we may wish the best for every student, social media can be a mean, hateful place, especially for young people who may not fit into some folk’s narrow ideologies.

Calling all Culver City baseball fans and CCHS supporters! After 13 innings, last night’s baseball game had to be paused, with our Centaurs in the lead, 11-10. The game will resume today at 4pm in Glendora. Show them some love and encouragement today, send happy thoughts, sounds like you can watch the game through an app (see below), or - if you’re a super fan! - go to Glendora to cheer them on in person!
