Vaughn Next Century Learning Center (“Vaughn”), located in Pacoima, is a large urban public school within the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD). Since the early 1970s, low student achievement had been a pattern. In 1993, tired of being helpless and hopeless, Vaughn became the first conversion charter school in the nation and was authorized by LAUSD. The charter was renewed most recently in 2018.

Vaughn has over 25 years of experience as a successful independent charter school serving the district’s low-income students.

This role fosters a safe, structured, and engaging classroom environment and works closely with grade-level teams, support staff, and families to plan instruction, monitor progress, and respond to student needs.
