This past Sunday, LNC Alumni Paul O'Neal, current student Gary Hill and I were on hand for a presentation at the home of High Tech High co-founders Gary & Jerri Ann Jacobs about the world-class charter's plans for the North County campus. 
150 ninth grade students are currently enrolled in the temporary facilities off San Marcos Boulevard. Applications for the incoming ninth grade class are due by March 7th. It's a remarkable program and one North County should rally around and support -- it's good for workforce development, fosters creativity and innovation, and improves quality of life. Consider donating to its capital campaign, and who knows? When the new instructional facilities are built, you might find yourself touring the halls with Bill Gates who is one of the charter's biggest supporters along with many generous and engaged local leaders like the Jacobs family.
