Dr. Dre and Compton Unified leaders celebrated the completion of Compton High's rebuild on 5/22. The $225 million campus houses a half-size Olympic pool, tennis courts, the above mentioned performing arts center, and classrooms where over 2000 students who will attend the high school in August will learn engineering,video game design and earn college credit.
Dre, who was once a student in the district before transferring to a South L.A. school spoke of grit merged with education at the ribbon cutting ceremony. "It's a certain kind of grit that gets cultivated navigating these streets, and that grit carried me farther than I could ever imagine,” he reflected. “But I'm also excited to see the kind of talent that emerges when grit is paired with a first rate-education."
