4/4: A Neighborhood School

Built around the 1880's, Castelar Elementary School is the second oldest continuously operating school in Los Angeles and one of the only that can claim to be a neighborhood school. We visited the school and spoke with Principal Cheuk Choi about Castelar's history and the obstacles of multicultural learning in public education.

Hi Douglas - It amazes me to hear how Castelar was such a community, neighborhood school thanks to people like Susan Dickson, Cheuk Choi and William Chun-Hoon. Do you have any stories about them that you could add into our community engagement page? Would love to hear them!
