St. Genevieve Parish Schools to Welcome Congresswoman Luz Rivas on First Day of School

Congresswoman will tour the newly renovated West Campus and visit with students engaged in education advocacy.

PANORAMA CITY, Calif. —  St. Genevieve Parish Schools, a National School of Character serving 1,100 students from preschool through 12th grade, will welcome Congresswoman Luz Rivas to its Panorama City campus on Monday, August 10, as students begin the 2026–2027 school year.

Congresswoman Rivas will tour the school’s newly renovated West Campus and visit with students in St. Genevieve’s Leadership and Advocacy class.

During the past year, students in the class have built a coalition of thought leaders to educate the public about the Education Freedom Tax Credit (EFTC). The federal initiative could bring billions of dollars in education assistance to California, helping middle- and low-income families meet their children’s educational needs. The visit will give students an opportunity to share their advocacy efforts with a federal lawmaker and demonstrate how young people can participate meaningfully in the civic process.
