In the wake of a catastrophic wildfire that destroyed the Pasadena campus of Sahag Mesrob Armenian Christian School, up to 190 students from Kindergarten through 8th grade will temporarily relocate to the AGBU Vatche and Tamar Manoukian Cultural Center through the end of the 2025-2026 school year. This extended period will allow the school to regroup and rebuild while ensuring minimal disruption to academic instruction for the year.

"As soon as we heard that the school had perished, we knew we had to step in and lend support," stated AGBU Western Region Chair Kevork Zoryan. "While we are on edge with the regional fires, not knowing where the next emergency will arise, we know that, as AGBU, we cannot sit idle. We reached out to our friends at Sahag Mesrob Armenian Christian School within the early moments of this tragedy to assure them that they can count on us for support," he added.

In a public statement, the Sahag Mesrob Armenian Christian School board affirmed its determination to rebuild, and its Chair, Arlin Titanian, expressed profound gratitude to AGBU for the partnership it forged overnight.

"It's rare to encounter such a strong and compassionate partner, and AGBU's commitment to supporting us has not gone unnoticed. We are incredibly fortunate to have you by our side; in unity is strength," said Titanian.
