This Spring the Rossmoor Woman’s Club awarded three Los Alamitos High School (LAHS) Seniors with $1,000 checks to use towards their college expenses. The selection process for Seniors of the Month is designed to recognize students who exemplify academic excellence and outstanding citizenship. To be considered, students must maintain a high GPA and demonstrate strong moral character, respect, and involvement in school and community activities. Candidates who meet these criteria are then voted on by teachers, counselors and the administration. This process ensures that the chosen Seniors of the Month are not only high achievers academically but also positive role models who contribute to the school’s culture and spirit.
LAHS Senior of the Month for March – Ella Pardasani
Ella Pardasani, a past senior at Los Alamitos High School, has a passion for leadership and business. On campus, she served as ASB President, competed on the Varsity Girls Tennis team, and founded the Small Business Club. She was also a proud member of Spanish Honor Society, California Scholarship Federation, the Kindness Collective, and National Honor Society. Her interest in business went beyond the classroom — she completed programs outside of school at UCLA and Berkeley, and created her own leadership and business workshops which she taught to elementary students last summer through Los Alamitos Education Foundation (LAEF) and the Youth Center. Off campus, you’ll find Ella cheering on students, exploring new places, or heading to the beach with friends. This fall she will be attending USC Marshall School of Business where she’ll study Business Administration with minors in Organizational Leadership & Management and Social Entrepreneurship.
