“We are incredibly proud of our Glendale Unified high schools that rank among the nation’s best and continue to improve year after year,” said Glendale Unified Board of Education President Nayiri Nahabedian. “We are working together to foster a positive culture of learning and maximize academic outcomes for every child in our district.”

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
