I hope today that you'll find a little bit of information about the extracurricular life school and see what it's really like to be a lobo. Our graduates attend colleges all over the country from Cal State Fullerton to UC Irvine to Stanford, Yale, and Harvard. My name is Amy Avina, and THIS IS MY PACK!
