Honorary Trustee Society
“When the Foundation asked me to serve as the Chair of the Honorary Trustee Society to help this school, I accepted without a moment’s hesitation. Laifun and I believe that it is vital that Los Angeles has—in its unique position as a world leader in the arts, culture and entertainment—a performing and visual arts high school of the highest quality and one which will make us all proud.”
- Ted Kotcheff | Executive Producer, Law & Order SVU
The Arts High Foundation Honorary Trustee Society is a group of high-profile members of the community—prominent artists and business and philanthropic leaders—who lend their names, talents and treasure to sustain the Foundation’s mission to help provide LACHSA with the finest arts education, instruction and programming available anywhere.
On May 12, 2009, a celebration of the Founding of the Honorary Trustee Society was held at the California Club. Read More
