The school risked becoming the first school in Los Angeles to lose its accreditation. Luckily a team of educators. lead by Paul Possemato. was called to step in. They established order and promoted higher academic standards. The commitment to educating young persons must be lauded. Their exemplary service went beyond regular duties. they tutored students after school and on weekends. Jaime Escalante. a Bolivian immigrant hired to teach remedial mathematics in 1974. quickly achieved a reputation as an excellent teacher who demanded much of his students and began to teach advanced placement calculus. He is now the chairman of the department. Other departments in the school also began to offer advanced placement courses.
