from the BOARD 

 

In 2019, we revamped our organizational infrastructure.  We've spent the entire year working on re-building relationships and internal operations to support our work in supporting you, the alumni today and in the future!  Some of that includes: 

  • Repairing the fractured relationship between LACHSA administration and LAA

  • Rebuilding the corrupted database files

  • Overhauled the Scholarship Fund application process

  • And more...

 

In 2021, the LACHSA Alumni Association became LACHSA LEGACY- the official Alumni Association of the Los Angeles County High School for the Arts. ​

​

In 2022, we worked to strengthen our relationships with LACHSA, the Arts High Foundation, and the Parent's Association.

We can't wait to do more in 2023 and beyond! We want to know from you how we can serve you better. Send thoughts, questions, suggestions to: lachsaalumni@gmail.com.
