3 Students Will Attend Inauguration
Three Valencia High School students will travel to Washington in January to participate in the presidential inaugural festivities.
Abel Soto and Alberto Villanueva, both juniors, and Juana Gonzalez, a sophomore, were selected by the Region IX Migrant Education Office to represent the high school during Inauguration Week. Their trip is being sponsored by the Migrant Education Department.
Principal David Verdugo will accompany the students, who will participate in a program to give young Americans an in-depth look at government in action. Their trip will include meetings with members of Congress, visiting Capitol Hill and attending the swearing-in ceremony for President Clinton on Jan. 20.
The three students also will be involved in focus discussions on domestic issues, the media and politics. They will tour the Supreme Court and FBI buildings, as well as other government agencies’ headquarters.
