Emmy Award-winning CNN producer and Eisenhower High School graduate, Vanessa Rumbles and California State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tony Thurmond took center stage at Rialto High School Knights Gymnasium on Saturday to deliver a powerful and uplifting education-based message at this year's event, attended by over 1,500 community members.
Rialto Unified School District's Kolb Middle School is one of only 189 middle schools, including just 55 schools that are new to the honor, across the country that earned the National Schools Watch distinction. Schools were honored at a ceremony during the National Schools to Watch Conference, which was held June 22 to 24 in the nation's capital.
