Partnership Scholars Program community celebrated the graduation of our 40 seniors in June. Each of these grads is going directly to college in the fall to continue their education, an achievement they worked hard for throughout their six years in PSP. The graduates shared their stories and their plans for the future at emotional ceremonies held in downtown L.A for our Lennox and El Monte students, on the North Coast  for our Mendocino and Fort Bragg scholars, and in Ukiah for the Ukiah students.

Each scholar reflected on their path to college, their experiences while in PSP and what’s next for them. You can read about their experiences and see pictures of each of our graduates below.

We also got to celebrate the contributions of some of PSP’s incredibly dedicated volunteers and supporters. The Langer Award, which honors our founder Dr. and Mrs. Langer’s legacy by recognizing a partner who has made a significant contribution to PSPs continued growth and success, was given to Francis Rutherford on the North Coast, Sylvia and Malcolm Boyce in Ukiah and Dr. Bruce McDaniel in Los Angeles. The Cultural and Academic Partner (CAP) Award, which honors someone who consistently gives of their time, effort and ‘elbow grease’ to ensuring that PSP is successful, was awarded to Rachel Binah on the North Coast, Jean Lincoln in Ukiah, and Rocio Centeno in Los Angeles. Each of these people has given incredible amounts of caring, financial support and time to make sure that PSP can continue to offer our unique program to motivated students.

We hope you enjoy more pictures from the PSP 2018 graduations!
