Lowell Milken, chairman and co-founder of the Milken Family Foundation, tells students that teachers and principals play the most important role in our society—preparing all of them for bright, successful futures. “[Educators] seek to ensure that each of you has an understanding of our people’s history, our destiny, and our obligation to repair the world,” he says. Mr. Milken also has a secret to share: One MCS teacher is about to receive a Jewish Educator Award, an honor that celebrates outstanding educators in Los Angeles Jewish day schools.
