Beware Proprietary Schools

Graduates and soon to be graduates should all be wary of
what we cal proprietary schools. These are privately owned
operations that advertise extensively on TV for a variety of
career such as criminal justice, dental/medical assistant, and
a host of others. They literally bomb the airwaves especially
during the day with promises of a career, job, training. DO
NOT FALL FOR THIS SCAM! These schools are not accredited
by WASC (Western Association of Schools and Colleges) have
non credentialed teachers, AND will charge you a LOT of money.
I had a young lady who graduated from HHS and went to one of
these schools for Art and is now $40,000 in debt! All she has
is an AA (Associate of Arts) degree which she could gotten at
LACC for almost nothing. Any area of career training that you
might desire is available at very low cost to graduate adults
through the LAUSD's Division of Adult, $Career Education, or the local
community college district. If you ever have any question about
any college or career training program, call Ms. Campbell or
myself first, and above all, never give out a credit card number
or sign anything!
