Hawthorne High School of Manufacturing and Engineering proudly announces its participation in the Historic Indy Car Challenge held at the prestigious Long Beach Grand Prix. The event saw vintage Indy cars from the 1970s and 1980s racing around the track in thrilling 20-minute races on both Saturday and Sunday of the race weekend.

During this exhilarating event, high school engineering students from Hawthorne High School had the unique opportunity to gain firsthand experiences in the organized world of racing from the inner workings of the track. Partnering with the Historic Motor Sports Association, the students delved into the operational aspects of racing, working alongside Technical Inspectors to ensure the safety and readiness of the historic cars on the track.

The CVUHSD Board of Education selected Ms. Nohemi Ramirez to fill the board vacancy for Trustee Area 3. Ms. Ramirez is a Leuzinger High School graduate and the proud parent of a Lawndale Cardinal. She is an active member of the community. Parent representation on the Board will be a valuable asset to the District and we look forward to having her input in the District decision making process. Congrats Trustee Ramirez, welcome to the team!
