The PSP Class of 2024 is off to college! On Saturday, June 8 we held a graduation celebration for our Lennox and El Monte graduates and their families. Board Members, donors, staff, mentors and alumni gathered at Grand Central Market in downtown Los Angeles to celebrate the accomplishments of this year’s graduates and their mentors, who together spent six years working toward this day. This year’s graduating scholars will attend 15 colleges and universities. Among them are Stanford, UCLA, USC, UC Berkeley and more!
Board President Terryl Martin welcomed everyone to the celebration, along with founding board member Meg Sanchez. In English and Spanish, they commended scholars on the completion of their six years in PSP, noting that despite trying times (COVID!), they culminated in success as they graduated high school and enrolled in college.
Scholars and mentors had the opportunity to hear from PSP alum Mason Woolfolk. He just concluded his first year at Pepperdine University as an Engineering and Physics double major. Mason reminded scholars that college is a time to explore and grow. He encouraged them to challenge themselves and “make [their] presence known on campus”.
Board members Meg Sanchez and Gretchen Ondrozeck presented scholars and mentors with certificates. Each group reflected on their time in PSP. Scholars shared their most memorable PSP outings, highlighted the special bond they formed with their mentors and their plans after high school. You can read their PSP reflections here.
We also had the pleasure of hearing from one of our very own parents. Mrs. Daysi Moreno, proud mother of a Lennox scholar, addressed graduates and parents. She expressed her gratitude to PSP for the support her son received through the past six years and acknowledged the sacrifice and dedication that parents contribute to their children.
Partnership Scholars is grateful for the generosity of our board members, mentors and donors. Their continued support helps us to carry out our mission so that scholars can achieve their college dreams.

On Sunday June 14, PSP’s class of 2020 celebrated their high school success and continuation to college with family, friends, mentors, board members, donors and staff through a virtual, live ceremony. Seeing the faces of so many people who make PSP the strong community that it is – scholars, mentors, parents, donors and friends from across California – brought home the strength of our inter-connectedness, even when we meet online instead of in real life. 
This spring the PSP class of 2019 celebrated their graduation from high school and their achievement of their college acceptance goals. More than 200 students, mentors, family members and community partners joined in these celebrations in Fort Bragg, Los Angeles and Ukiah.
