Like most of LA County and the State of California, the enrollment in Alhambra Unified School District has experienced a steady decline in student enrollment over the past few decades. Changes to enrollment can be challenging, but they also provide an opportunity to thoughtfully consider the future of the district and how it can continue providing strong educational experiences for students. This video, featuring Superintendent Dr. Denise R. Jaramillo and Student Board Member Angelina Yip, gives you an overview of why the Enrollment Impact Committee's work is so important to Alhambra Unified School District and why we need YOU to be involved.
