Three of the dozen finalists statewide in the running for the student member position on the State Board of Education come from Saddleback High School in Santa Ana.
The students, all 16-year-old juniors, are Regina Hoang, Nhu Lee and Tam Thanh Nguyen. They represented Orange County at the California School Boards Assn. conference last weekend, where they delivered speeches to be judged by an audience of student members of California school boards.
The race for the student seat started with 209 applicants statewide. From the pool of 12 finalists, six will be chosen for interviews with the Board of Education. The board will pare the list to three, and Gov. Pete Wilson will chose from among them by February.
