VISITS TCA ARSHAG DICKRANIAN SCHOOL

Los Angeles: During his weeklong stay in Los Angeles,
Lebanese-Armenian State Minister Jean Oghasapian took the time to
visit TCA Arshag Dickranian Armenian School on Tuesday, February 24.

The minister and his entourage were first greeted at the school
entrance by the Board Chairman George K. Mandossian, Principal Vartkes
Kourouyan, ADL Western District Committee Chairman Hagop Nazarian,
members of faculty, members of the Student Council, and several
community leaders. The honorable guest was then led to the Principal’s
Office for a briefing about the Dickranian School as well as Armenian
day schools in California. During such course of conversation, the
Minister was also infirmed that four members of the School’s faculty
were of Lebanese-Armenian origin.

entourage were given the VIP tour of the campus, visiting several
classrooms and mingling with students.

out of state dignitaries of Armenian origin, who could converse in
their mother tongue with them. Back in November 2008, they had the
opportunity to meet with Mr. Sergio Nahapetian, the Armenian member of
the Argentina’s Parliament. Located at 1200 North Cahuenga Blvd., Los
Angeles, the TCA Arshag Dickranian Armenian School is a federally tax
exempt Pre-K to 12th grade private educational institution. For more
