🙌 Students and Faculty CRSHHing our values!

At EPLA we care deeply about values. Our CRSHH values are at the core of what we do, how we engage with students, and what it means to Build Leaders! Below are some of our students and staff who exemplify those values!

Thomas Gomez is Smart 🧠

Thomas is a member of our Dual Credit program, and top 10% of the class of 2025, but still makes times to practice his musical skills!

Ms. Ramos is Collaborative 🤗

She has worked with our seniors and other campuses across the city to ensure our students aim high in their aspirations to attend college through Operation College Bound!

Valeria Valle is Hungry 🌟

Not only has Valeria taken every opportunity to apply to college! She even got selected to represent us on the News! Her bravery to speak up shows how hungry she is to be amazing!
