Oh no, AGBU's opening up another school. I guess even they got sick of Manoogian-Demirdjian. Just kidding.

So now we have:
AGBU (TBA)
AGBU Manoogian-Demirdjian
Alex Pilibos
Ari Giragos
Armenian Sisters Academy
Arshag-Dikranian
Chamlian
Ferrahian
Hovsepian
Mekhitarian
Merdinian
Mesrobian
Sahag Mesrob

Yay!

Very sad that there is no Armenian high school in Glendale or Burbank.

With something like 80-100,000 Armenians in that general area, there is no Armenian high school.

Yet with 20,000 Armenians, the San Fernando Valley is blessed with 2 (or maybe 3, as I think Merdinian also has a high school).

I'm very sure that they could find a few hundred Armenian parents in Glendale who would be willing and able to send their high school-age kids to an Armenian school.

I've been hearing of that Academy for a decade now. They haven't been able to raise the money. I pray that they can meet their target opening date of Sept. 2006, but somehow, I don't think it'll happen.

I mean, even without the Academy, both the Prelacy and clearly the AGBU have the funds to open a high school in Glendale, so why not do it? It boggles the mind. And even if the Academy is built, it still wouldn't be enough to serve the community.

Chamlian has been talking about adding a high school for years, and it never happens. Besides, it's not even in Glendale.

*sigh*

This really keeps me up at night. lol

Hoover and Glendale High are Armenian schools.

That's cool. Pasadena has become my second home. Actually, my third.

Good news about the school. Schools like these are essential. I wonder is there a directory of all Armenian schools in States?

Interesting, I've never been to an Armenian school.
