Sharing a few more highlights from the Sylvia Mend Sharing a few more highlights from the Sylvia Mendez Learning Pavilion ceremony earlier this week at Westminster High School @whsasb in the @hb_uhsd We hope you have a wonderful weekend. #mendezvswestminster @hb_uhsd
Huntington Beach Union High School District offici Huntington Beach Union High School District officials yesterday officially revealed the Sylvia Mendez Learning Pavilion at Westminster High School @whsasb during an afternoon celebration that featured student Folklorico dancers, steel drum music, a percussive performance by the school’s Vietnamese American Culture Club, empanadas, the debut of a massive outside mural, and a tour of the new facility, which more than earned the approval of its namesake. In case you aren’t familiar with the Mendez family, Sylvia Mendez is a central figure in the legal fight to integrate local schools years before the Supreme Court’s Brown v. Board decision. The case of Mendez v. Westminster brought transformative change to Orange County and paved the way for the desegregation of schools across the nation. To learn more about the monumental Mendez, et al v. Westminster case and the new Sylvia Mendez Learning Pavilion at Westminster High School, head to the OCDE Newsroom (link in bio).

But navigating these obstacles — plus the stresses related to learning during a global pandemic — could not deter the department’s nearly 700 graduates from commencing toward brighter futures. And, while each of the ACCESS program graduates has a unique story to tell, we are profiling a few standouts. Head to the Newsroom to read their personal stories.
