Congratulations Family 1st Graduates


Los Angeles, CA (SHIELDS) May 31, 2012 – A special congratulations goes out to the first graduates of our High School Equivalency Program at our Family 1st program at Jordan Downs. On Tuesday, May 22, 2012, four of our students passed the High School Equivalency exam and we are so proud of them.

The High School Equivalency program at Jordan Downs began on March 12, 2012. Our students showed their dedication by coming consecutively, three days a week since the start date. Our vocational counselors, Nantrece Carraby and Fernando Siordia, have done a great job throughout the program and our students are truly appreciative of their professionalism and willingness to teach them.

Through hard work and perseverance, these four ladies have shown their dedication and what it means to never give up on your dreams. Congratulations to Maria Carmona, Jessica Lopez, Denise Richardson, and Shirley Starks! All four ladies motivated one another to never give up and that’s just what they did! On Thursday, May 24, 2012, our graduates were awarded plaques at the Housing Authority of the City of Los Angeles (HACLA) Board Meeting. HACLA director, John King, and other commissioners applauded the ladies of their accomplishments. This is just the beginning of more graduates to come!

These ladies are walking testimonies that it is never too late to make a change for the better. Congratulations to the class of 2012!
