MR RAFFI HOVSEPIAN VISITS TCA ARSHAG DICKRANIAN SCHOOL
Los Angeles, April 20, 2010: Mr. Raffi Hovsepian, Board Chairman of the TCA
Vahan Tekeyan School of Beirut, Lebanon, visited the TCA Arshag Dickranian
School (ADS), on Thursday morning, April 15, 2010. Upon arrival, the
distinguished guest was greeted by George Mandossian, Chairman of the ADS
Board of Trustees, Vatche Semerdjian, Member of the TCA Board of Directors,
Parsegh Kartalian Vice-Chairman of the ADS Board of Trustees and Principal
Vartkes Kourouyan.
Mr. Hovsepian was first led to the Principal’s Office where the two chairmen
had an hour long exchange of information about their respective schools’
daily life, educational programs and budgetary issues. Being a long time
graduate of Vahan Tekeyan School, Mr. Hovsepian informed his hosts that he
was elected chairman last November after serving on the Board of Trustees
for several years. Since then he has made a habit of visiting the school
every morning on weekdays prior to going to work. Since his tenure of office
the school has taken major steps towards improving educational standards and
gaining financial stability. He also reported that at present 165 students,
ranging from Pre-Kindergarten through 8th grade attend the school, the
majority of which are on full or partial scholarships, making the school
widely dependent on personal contributions from philanthropists and the
goodwill of charitable organizations.
Mr. Hovsepian then took the time to visit several classrooms and meet with
teachers and students. At the end he was presented with a copy of the ADS
2009 Yearbook and other memento as tokens of his memorable visit.
Located at 1200 North Cahuenga Blvd., Los Angeles, the TCA Arshag Dickranian
Armenian School is a federally tax exempt, Pre-K to 12th grade private
educational institution. Visit
