Welcome to New SDSU President in Visit to Rosa Parks

Dr. Hirshman at Rosa Parks

Rosa Parks Elementary School in City Heights was visited by Dr. Elliot Hirshman on July 5, his first day as the new president of San Diego State University.
Hirshman met with students, teachers, staff and parent volunteers at the school as he visited several classrooms, including Laura Hernandez's pre-school class. He praised the university's involvement with the community.

Rosa Parks, along with Hoover High and Clark Middle, are the schools in the City Heights Educational Collaborative, a partnership between San Diego State's College of Education, San Diego Unified School District, San Diego Education Association (SDEA) and Price Charities. The goal is to improve student achievement in the area, which has many economic challenges.
