Welcome to the Youth and Family Academy (YAFA).  YAFA began operation in September of 1996 through the hard work and dedication of many community members which also included students.  YAFA was founded by Rosendo and Molly Melendez with the support and commitment of Felix Cordova, Arthur Luna, Dora Martinez, Gloria Valdez and Robert Aragon.  The intent is the belief that the combination of school-based, family-centered support services are the keys to success in the education of youth.  Combining social services with academics compliments and enhances the successful educational experience of each student.  This is supported by the fact that Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) is being achieved by both YAFA Middle and High school students.
