Pomona Unified Showcases High Schools Tuesday Night

The Pomona Unified School District is hosting a high school showcase Tuesday evening for parents and students to ask questions and get information about the district's high school programs.

Representatives from each high school in the Pomona Unified School District will be on hand to answer questions and compare programs.

"Students and parents need to know about the great opportunities available to them right here in Pomona and Diamond Bar," Chief Academic Officer Stephanie Baker said.

Baker highlighted the successes of recent classes in the district with students accepted to prestigious colleges and universities like Yale, Princeton, and Stanford, among others.

The evening event, called the "Secondary Showcase," will feature a representative from Diamond Ranch High School — which serves Diamond Bar — and the district's schools in "Pomona proper." Representatives from two new academies in the district — the Fremont Academy of Engineering & Design and the Palomares Academy of Health Science — will also be on hand.

"We want all our families to know what our high schools have to offer them," Superintendent Richard Martinez said. "The PUSD class of 2010 was offered a record $49 million in scholarships and grants, and our alumni are now studying at the very best colleges and universities in the nation."

The showcase will take place Tuesday, Feb. 15, from 5-7 p.m. at the Village at Indian Hill at 1460 E. Holt Ave., entrance 3.
