Cheering for changes
Pomona High School students form Community Action Team
By Mark Petix, Staff Writer
POMONA - More often than she'd like, Principal Marilyn Ghirelli sees Pomona High School as a city of
strangers, 1,700-plus students self-segregated by race,
culture and neighborhood alliances...
Pomona CAT ready for Action!
Members of the Pomona zerohour Campus Action Team gave up their weekend and took to the
mountains of Lake Arrowhead from December 1st through December 3rd. The retreat was
designed in order to train CAT members to become Peer Trainers under the Anti-Defamation
League's A World of Difference Program. CAT Members want to see Human Relations improve
at Pomona High and have committed themselves to train all of their peers so that there's
more understanding and appreciation of diversity at their school. The ADL's trainers
were impressed with how sophisticated the students were already with regards to Human
Relations issues and the knowledge that they gained will only strengthen their ability
to spread peace at P-High. CAT members who were trained have already come up with a
set of activities that they'll implement for the rest of the year beginnning with
training their fellow CAT members who couldn't be there. Make sure to check this
website to see all the wonderful activities that the CAT has planned.

The event is connected to the national "Make a Difference Day", now in its 14th year of existence. The L.A. effort was largely supported by the L.A. Recreation and Parks and "Beyond the Bell", one of LAUSD's principal after-school programs. The results were impressive: 3,000 teens participated at 107 locations throughout the county.
"This year, we hope that our Campus Action Teams (part of the Commission's Zerohour: No haters here!" program, can increase the visibility and participation of schools and community organizations by connecting the "Teens Make a Difference" day to the Commission's "Zerohour" program, now active in six county high school campuses...
