Milken Dances Into Bid for Nationals

Jews can dance a mean hora, but when it comes to hip-hop, they aren\’t known to hold their own — until now. The Milken Community High School Dance Team swept the open regional Dance Team Competition in Las Vegas and earned a bid to the 2004 National Dance Team Competition of the High School.

When the Milken team qualified to compete in just one category at last year\’s nationals, they were the first private Jewish school to earn such an honor. By sweeping last month\’s regionals in the hip-hop, lyrical, medium dance, jazz and officers categories, Milken enters this year\’s nationals as one of the teams to beat.

Milken High Learns From Video Scandal

Milken Community High School is facing a series of complex issues and emotions following the administration\’s discovery a few weeks ago that three students had filmed sexually explicit videos and then shared them with other students.

The three students, two boys and a girl in 10th and 11th grades, were expelled.

Power of the Past

My son Zack, 17, is celebrating Shabbat dinner tonight at the Bohema Restaurant in Krakow, Poland.

In fact, not only is he celebrating Shabbat, but he and his group — 15 students from Milken Community High School in Los Angeles and 140 students from Tichon Chadash High School in Tel Aviv, plus teachers and parent chaperones (including my husband, Larry) — are practically doubling Krakow\’s Jewish population, estimated at 200. It is a population that, at its height in the late 1930s, numbered more than 60,000.

A Hi-Tech Jewish High

The Milken Community High School celebrated the completion of its campus construction Sunday, putting the final touches on the nation\’s largest non-Orthodox Jewish high school — and its most high-tech — bar none.
