Samoan Dual Language Pre-K Program launched in the Bayview!
July 28, 2021
An instructor sits with her class at the diverse Leola M. Havard Early Education School right here in Bayview! Leola Havard will be the first SFUSD school to offer a Samoan Dual Language Learner Pre-K. Our city of San Francisco is home to several thousand people who are Samoan or are of Samoan descent and stay closely linked with our Black communities here. Bayview Hunters Point, Potrero Hill and Sunnydale are where a majority of the city’s Samoan population lives.
