For six years, the AV Champion center has provided the community with basketball programs, tutoring, mentoring, and even home improvement supplies.

Located on the campus of Lancaster First Assembly of God Church, the Center is a non-profit organization dedicated to improving the lives of youth and nurturing productive community members.

Antelope Valley College trustees agreed to pay two Black professors—from district funds—to settle a racial discrimination lawsuit filed almost seven years ago. Terms of the settlement were not disclosed.

College board members recently voted 4-0 for the settlement agreement with former AVC employees Sylvia Brown and John McDonald, who sued the college in December 2003 in Los Angeles County Superior Court.
