PHILANTHROPY NEWS DIGEST
The founders of the eight-year-old Milken Community High
School of Stephen Wise Temple, the largest non-Orthodox
Jewish high school in the U.S., recently dedicated its
new $30 million campus in Sepulveda Pass, California. The
school is named in honor of the Milken family, whose
foundation paid a third of the school's cost.
The 640-student school will combine the study of ancient
Jewish traditions and modern disciplines, such as robotics
and biotechnology. Each classroom is wired for the Internet
and has a video camera that can "video conference" with
virtually any place in the world. The four science labs
have fiber-optic hookups for laptops, and there are art
and broadcast studios.
"No civilization exists without people, without children,
without educators," said Michael Milken, co-founder of the
foundation with his brother Lowell, who is the chairman and
president.
Helfand, Duke. "Milken High Is Dedicated by Founders."
