A Series About Downey

This website is dedicated to a list of stories that detailed various issues in the Downey Unified School District this past spring 2007. As a journalism student, I was sent out to cover Downey, California and wrote a story every week. I first covered students in English as a Second Language program. Other stories included the state of the art video program at Warren High School and the problem the district was facing with declining enrollment. Enjoy!

About the Author

I am a senior at the University of Southern California (Fight On!) double majoring in Economics and Print Journalism. I originally from Texas, but came out to California to pursue journalism. Definitely enjoyed my time learning about people, issues, and the way newspapers and television stations function. But now in my last year in college, my focus has changed to finance. I know, it's a huge contrast to journalism, but something I feel in love with immediately. You never know, I might combine both my skills into Business Reporting. Let's see where I go!
