Cerritos College

Outstanding Students

"Do you Falcon?"

On this page, we'll occasionally post profiles of students who answer that question with a resounding "Yes!" These are not students who claim to be individual geniuses, or students for whom learning comes easily. In fact, many of these students admit to histories of failure or mediocre performance, feeling like they were failures until someone helped them discover the habits of mind that lead to academic success. These are students who manage the 6 elements of FALCON on a daily basis: Focus, Advance, Link-Up, Comprehend, Organize, and New Ideas. Check out the links below to find out more about these Cerritos College students. We hope to add your success profile, too!
