Ten Educational Commandments for Parents

On behalf of La Quinta High School, we are proud to present The Ten Educational Commandments for Parents. The program is designed to inform, empower, and train parents regarding the educational process serving them and their children. In February 2007, the first session of the 10 Educational Commandments was offered for Vietnamese and Hispanic parents. Our community liaisons will be contacting parents to invite parents to future sessions. If you would like to participate in a future session, call Kim Trinh or Rocio Rodriguez at (714) 663-6345.
