Housing on Merit held a graduation event to recognize and celebrate three students who recently earned their high school diplomas. Valeria Parra, Melissa Ruiz and Bryana Ingle have been long-time participants of the tutoring, mentoring and educational programs offered at Vista La Rosa’s Learning Center, in San Diego, CA, which provides residents with ongoing support to pursue personal and academic success. In recognition of their accomplishments, Resident Services staff provided each graduate with a card, flowers and a certificate from HOM. The students were also given guidance and advice in time management, organizational skills and with registering for classes. Future plans for the three graduates include attending San Diego State University and joining the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department Law Enforcement Explorer Program.
