World famous boxer Oscar De La Hoya will be giving the commencement speech this Thursday at his namesake high school Oscar De La Hoya, in East Los Angeles. This is the first senior class to graduate from Oscar De La Hoya High School and they have produced tremendous academic results.
While LAUSD graduates less than 45% and sends less than 20% to four-year colleges. De La Hoya who helped build the school, is actively involved with the students and faculty — This year 98% of the seniors are graduating. 78% will be going on to four year universities.
A high school in LA named after Oscar?
What’s next? A pre-school in Grand Rapids called ‘Floyd Mayweather?’
WHATS WRONG WITH THAT? ANYBODY WHO PUTS TIME IN MONEY IN TO THE COMMUNITY LIKE DLH DOES DESERVES IT.
