Hats off to our grads... the class of 2008

Compared to the general population, there aren’t that many Jewish families living in the desert. So it was truly impressive to
discover that there were eight Jewish graduates each from Palm Desert and Palm Springs High Schools this past June! Listed
below are the sixteen graduates, their proud parents, and where they will be studying this fall.
