“If you build it, he will come.”—The
Voice.
Though the voice who spoke this quote intended it for the farmer in
Field of Dreams, hoping to inspire him to build a baseball field, it
seems some school districts nationwide are taking this quote as their
own — applying its message well beyond a baseball field.Come September, thousands of kindergarten through 12th graders will flood through the doors of the newly built Robert F. Kennedy Community Schools in Los Angeles.
The education will be as standard as any other public school education. However, the aesthetics will not.
Robert F. Kennedy Community Schools is known as the “Taj Mahal” of public schools. Built from the former Ambassador Hotel, where the Democratic presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy was assassinated in 1968, the architects of the school held back no luxuries while staying true to the site’s acclaimed fame.
The complex holds 4,200 students within its art-covered walls and also houses a marble memorial depicting the school’s name sake.
A state-of-the-art swimming pool and public park enhance the complex as well.
Yes. This is a public school.
