This property defines the community of Hermon to this day and should not be sold for a housing development.
It is in the best interests of our community to preserve this site for educational purposes
Perserve as a school
thanks for working to save a place for education.
In 1903 the Hermon community was pioneered by families that came, most at great sacrifice, from all over the U.S. to give their children a superior education at the brand new Los Angeles Seminary. The school name has changed over the years, but not the goal of providing excellent education. This property is and has been one of the most valuable and fought for sites in Hermon - not for it's value of land, but for it's value of young people's futures. It's prepared and sent students on to train in every field, not only having a positive influence in our community but having an impact on communities literally around the world. Los Angeles International Charter High School now has 95% of their seniors accepted into 4-yr. colleges and universities. Most of these students come from low-income households and usually they're the first in their family to go to college, some the first to graduate from high school in their family. Our community's privilege of opening a real door for these students who work hard to have successful lives and careers that can change lives can never be extinguished. Condos and houses will never replace the importance Hermon recognizes and will fight for in this place - education and the betterment of our neighbors in Hermon and beyond.

the hill, history, purpose, symbol - each and all define Hermon as a place that embraces, protects, and enriches in mind and spirit. nice people can move in to crowded condos and change the heart of Hermon - and remove one more special area from the history and variety within Los Angeles
