An Oct. 7 article by Monica Rodriguez of the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin provided the following details about the landmark event:
Samuel Torres is the first male principal at the all-girl Pomona Catholic High School, but his gender is not what makes him stand out to students or parents. As far as students are concerned, the principal "could be an alien from outer space" as long as that person "does a good job," said Dani Rose Meave-Cateril, the school's student body president. ...
One of his goals is to attract more students to the school, which has a 197-member student body. One way that will be accomplished is by creating the best college preparatory curriculum possible, which is being done by contacting the nation's top colleges, Torres said.
The information gathered will be used to build up and create a more rigorous academic program, he said. Torres also plans to work with parochial middle schools so children and their families can begin thinking of college and what they must do to prepare for it, he said.
