Golden Oak Adult School graduation 2017 by O'Connor PhotographySANTA CLARITA – Twenty-eight students from Golden Oak Adult School received their high school diplomas Thursday at a ceremony held at La Mesa Junior High School.

The ceremony included speeches by two graduates and an address by William S. Hart Union High School District Governing Board member Dr. Cherise Moore, who served at one time as the interim principal of the school.

The event also featured a rose ceremony during which students could honor someone who had a positive impact on their success.

Special guests included California State Assemblyman Dante Acosta, Santa Clarita Mayor Pro-Tem and City Council Member Laurene Weste, and Kris Hough, field representative for State Senator Scott Wilk, each presenting the students with certificates.

“This commencement ceremony was an inspirational celebration of fortitude, hard work and dedication,” Golden Oak Principal Jodie Hoffman said.

The mission of Golden Oak Adult School is to meet the educational needs of the community by empowering learners with academic, career and technological skills, preparing them for post-secondary education, today’s changing workforce, and civic and community involvement.

Golden Oak Adult School is located at 23201 Dalbey Dr., Santa Clarita 91355. The telephone number is 661-253-0583, and the web address is goldenoakadultschool.com.

Metrolink to Hold Public Meetings on AV Line Capacity, Improvements

However, the uneven terrain and single-tracking along the line in some areas forces trains to travel at a slower speed which results in an estimated travel time of approximately one hour between Santa Clarita and Union Station.
