On Friday April 27th, the Del Mar staff attended the State Conference for continuation schools and received its third consecutive "California Model Continuation High School" award. Del Mar was one of 32 of the over 500 continuation high schools in California to be named Model School this year. The honor is for a 3 year period and this will mark 9 consecutive years Del Mar has been a Model School. We thank everyone who works with our students and school community. It would not be possible without all of the support we receive from the Governing Board and District Office, families and community of San Gabriel. Thank you all.

On Tuesday February 13th, Storyteller Diane Ferlatte performed for the students at Del Mar. Ms. Ferlatte, accompanied musically by Mr. Pearson, told stories of United States history that involved African American slaves and their significant contributions to our countries development and establishment. Her "We Were There", "stories about ordinary African Americans who did extraordinary things" performance was enlightening and informative to our students and staff. With period music from Mr. Pearson, it was a great experience for our students.
We thank The San Gabriel Education Foundation and Mrs. Anguili and The Music Center of LA County for bringing Ms. Ferlatte and Mr. Pearson to our campus. It was truly a once in a lifetime opportunity.
