USC golf

Krando transferred from La Jolla Country Day to HBA and added an extra year of high school. The flexibility gave him time to develop his golf game while raising his GPA and adding more AP classes — and he achieved his lifelong goal of attending USC as a recruited golfer.

A high-level gymnast who travelled to Irvine daily after school to train, often arriving home after 11pm on school nights. HBA created a 9:30am late-start schedule so he could get adequate sleep and still complete a full college-prep curriculum.
