Mrs. Wynola Kerry - Principal I believe firmly in the obligation of the public schools of California. Our schools must serve the broad interests of the students of Compton so that they can be prepared for the world in which we live. Our schools are the modern instruments to assist the students in their personal quest for self-improvement and should, therefore, be a center of learning, should be a center in the search for new and better ideas, ideas which can be put to wise use. The development and interpretations of new knowledge and creative work are an important function of our schools. We want to afford students individual attention, experiences in friendly groups, broad curricula, and superior opportunities for those that are college bound. We are proud of Dominguez High School, proud qf its past history, and proud that together we are seeking a better-future for the students who will be entering.
