About the Program:
The POLAHS mission states that all students will graduate from high school will be prepared and motivated for college and will be introduced to sustainable careers and job pathways. The hands-on gardening experience is the foundation for the achievement of these goals. Students partnered with the Housing Authority of the City of Los Angeles in August 2011 and a new community garden was introduced at the Rancho San Pedro Public Housing Development - this has been a life changing collaboration!
