Rock Gala Club at Valencia HS

The Rock Gala Club started at Valencia HS in the 2019-20 school year. APLE member, Rodney Boaz, is the Advisor of this club, he also teaches the schools Arts, Media and Entertainment, Video Production and Advanced Video Production. The Club formed the first rock band named “RG1” and played its first concert in the auditorium at VHS on December 4, 2019.

Sounds good Mr Boaz!

2019 We Honor Ours (WHO) Awards

OSCC honors and thanks leaders who make a difference for students and instructors.

OSCC could not be the successful organization it is without the leadership of hundreds of local members who work tirelessly at the bargaining table, reaching out to members, providing guidance on grievances, campaigning for education-friendly trustees, and in general strengthening their chapters. These local education and union activists were honored at the Spring OSCC WHO Awards Dinner in Costa Mesa.
