“Hollywood has always struck me as a place where it doesn’t matter where you are from,” says Principal Jaime Morales, who immigrated from Nicaragua. “You are welcome here.”

These resounding words are quite indicative of the diversity of the school today.

CNN recently showcased Hollywood High Schools diversity in a wonderful piece that was produced by Chuck Conder. We've shared this with you in this post.

Although the Hollywood High School Alumni Association does not actively participate in any political agendas, I personally found that one of our representatives has been working with The Assembly Speaker on an initiative to cut college tuition fees at CSU and UC colleges by 2/3.

43rd District Assemblyman Mike Gatto and The Assembly Speaker introduced legislation that would propose to dramatically reduce the cost of attending state colleges.

Here are some comments he made on…

It’s amazing how things change so quickly in this communication age. I remember my old rotary phone and writing letters to my grandma. Now a days, a stamp is not needed and communicating with friends and business associates has developed into something we only dreamed of for the 21st century. Take Facebook for instance. It all started with a search for old friends and without realizing it, everyone is reconnecting with people all the way back to high school and so starts my story.

I was doing some YouTube research and would you believe the top-ranked videos for the keywords "Hollywood High" are folks using the school grounds as a skate part--videos documenting the various skaters who come to show off their talents. I'm slightly of mixed-feelings about this, but I do remember being a very young kid once...so it's logical to embrace the reality that Hollywood High doubles as a skate park. But this video just amazed me...how does he do it?…

I have been losing sleep over this because there never seems to be enough time during an average day to completely do all the volunteer work that I want to do, let along that has to be done without fail.

Tonight I've sent out a huge stack of press releases announcing that the Hollywood High School has been officially listed on the…

Every opera house has a phantom, every theater its ghost. The drama students at Hollywood High School have, for as many years as anyone can recall, shared their auditorium with Olivia. While crossing the stage in a Christmas processional, the story goes, Olivia burned to death when the candle she carried lit her papier-mache dress. Her spirit ascended into the catwalk above the…

I was very impressed to see that our listing in the National Register of Historic Places was posted so quickly on Wikipedia. I also wanted to encourage you, if you like to Wiki, to review and update our page on Wikipedia. Possible content is far greater than what is actually on there. I'd love to see this page grow and encompass the depth of valuable information really out there about our school.

If you have the desire to Wiki, please go here and make some valuable…

Somebody says, "Well, I can't be concerned about other people. About the best I can do is to take care of myself." Well, then you will always be poor.
