“Parents took one step closer to seeing their children attend college when they attended an education conference Saturday at Whittier College. The purpose of the sixth annual conference, presented by the Hispanic Outreach Taskforce, or HOT, Whittier College, Whittier School District and insurance broker Keenan and Associates, was to help parents get their children into college after high school graduation.
HOT president Mary Romero said a study showed the percentage of Latino children who dropped out of high school between their junior and senior years was 27 percent, which she said is a significant improvement from previous years.”
