Vaughn Next Century Learning Center, located in Pacoima,  is a large urban public school within the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD). Tired of being helpless and hopeless, Vaughn converted to a Public charter school in 1993, “The Little School That Could” pushed public school reform to its limits with the approval and support of LAUSD. We were awarded the California Distinguished Schools Award in 1995 and the National Blue Ribbon Schools Award in 1996.
Today, Vaughn is proving to be a model of educational success. Not only has it raised the academic achievement and improved the future prospects of youth from highly disadvantaged backgrounds, but it has also strengthened the fabric of the local community.
