More than 400 people turned out Saturday for a luncheon at the Marina del Rey Ritz Carlton to recognize long-time educator Genevieve A. Shepherd with a scholarship fund named in her honor.
The goal of the Genevieve A. Shepherd Educator’s Scholarship is to award at least five individuals each year beginning in June 2016 who are interested in teaching. Those interested will teach in public, private or Christian education at all levels. Shepherd has spent more than 50 years as leader in education in the city of Los Angeles. She retired from Tom Bradley Charter Magnet School after having taught there for 30 years and in 2014 was recognized as a distinguished educator of the year by her alma mater, Cal State L.A.
