WHY DO YOU SUPPORT POLAHS?
I am deeply impressed by the programs that Mr. DeSanto and his colleagues have established, using the Port of Los Angeles as a skeleton around which to structure a wide range of classes. As I have learned from my eldest son, who is in the Merchant Marine, there are excellent job opportunities in the maritime industry, and I think it is a great way to expose POLAHS students to the field. - Words from a Donor
WHY DO YOU SUPPORT POLAHS?
I came from a poor working class background, but was fortunate to attend a high school with excellent teachers, who gave their time generously. The school had an Outdoor Activities Club, which introduced me to the wild and beautiful areas of the UK, and to activities such as hiking, climbing and kayaking. The academic standards of the school were high, equipping me to obtain a place to study medicine at one of the leading British universities. My school no longer exists, so I was looking for a similar school locally that served children in an underprivileged area. I have been very blessed by the opportunities that I have had, and it is time for me to give a little back. - Words from a Donor
