LAUSD Region East

At just 16 years old, Jaden Dunbar is already redefining what’s possible. 🎓

A graduating senior from Early College Academy at Los Angeles Trade-Technical College, Jaden will earn both her high school diploma and SIX associate degrees before beginning her next chapter at UC Merced this fall. Her academic journey reflects determination, resilience and an extraordinary commitment to learning.

Along the way, she also earned both CSU General Education Breadth (CSU GE-Breadth) Certificate and the Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum (IGETC) Certificate, completing rigorous college coursework while balancing high school studies with excellence.

As she heads to the University of California, Merced with the prestigious Bobcat Grant, Jaden’s story stands as a powerful example of the opportunities created through dual enrollment and early college pathways. Her future is bright, and this is only the beginning. 💙📚

🦷✨ Big smiles are on the move!

Today, LA Unified and QueensCare Health Alliance unveiled two new mobile dental clinic units that will help bring free, high-quality dental care directly to children and young adults across LA.

The new clinics will expand access to care — regardless of insurance status — helping remove barriers to care and keep students healthy, confident and ready to learn - because every student deserves a reason to smile.

A special shoutout to the Gratts Learning Academy for Young Scholars students who helped name the new units and joined in today’s celebration!
