Paul Fong Commends 'Top High Schools' in Dist. 28

"I'm very proud to represent these high schools and commend them for this remarkable achievement," Fong said in a prepared statement. He added that the schools had demonstrated the ability to provide a high quality education for all students, and student achievement had been such that the schools qualified for the prestigious.

The 28th Assembly District includes the cities and communities of Burbank, Cambrian Park, Campbell, Cupertino, Fruitdale, Lexington Hills, Los Gatos, Monte Sereno, San Jose, Santa Clara, and Saratoga.
