The Los Alamitos Education Foundation is proud to announce its support for Griffin Lab staffing, an essential program at Los Alamitos High School that would have faced cuts this year without LAEF’s funding. Griffin Lab is a targeted academic support initiative designed to help students across all grade levels, with a historical focus on 9th and 10th-grade students, succeed in core STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) and language courses.
Griffin Lab aligns with LAEF’s mission to prepare every child in the Los Alamitos Unified School District for college and beyond by providing structured tutoring and fostering a collaborative learning environment. The program offers a safe, supportive space for students who need additional academic assistance or wish to reinforce their understanding of key concepts in math, science, and world languages.
Griffin Lab is designed to provide personalized tutoring from expert teachers and enthusiastic student volunteers, creating an environment where students can improve their academic performance. The program also emphasizes peer-to-peer learning, which not only supports academic growth but also builds confidence and promotes social engagement.
“By funding Griffin Lab staffing, we are ensuring that students have the support they need to succeed academically,” said LAEF Executive Director Carrie Logue. “This program is integral to helping students bridge the gap between their current performance and their potential, preparing them for the rigorous coursework they will encounter in high school and beyond. Our investment in Griffin Lab is a critical step in ensuring that all students are on the path to college readiness and success.”
