who we are
The Los Angeles Police Academy Magnet School Foundation was founded in 1996 to support young people of need through academic, pre-professional programs that provide a pathway to success via training and education.
Approximately 1,500 students per year are served by Foundation-supported programs at twelve Los Angeles public schools, which include two middle schools, seven high schools, two community colleges, and a university program.
More information is available on our fact sheet.

NEWS AND NOTES
• We recently hosted formal inspections at Fairfax High School, Monroe High School and Reseda High School.
• Miguel Camarena, a 45 year-old parent of two, recently became both a US citizen and one of the oldest new recruits to the LAPD on record! ABC 7 and CBS News report him as having been inspired by his children, both LAPAMS students.
• We remain particularly proud of our work with the Police Orientation Preparation Program (POPP), a one-of-a-kind collaboration between the LAUSD, the LA Community College District, and the LAPD. POPP now operates at two LACCD campuses: West LA College, and the new site at LA Valley College which launched in 2022.
• We remember always our Foundation Founder, Roberta Weintraub.
