On Oct. 17 the GRAMMY Foundation presented Cabrillo High School with a $2,000 GRAMMY Signature Schools Community Award to be used for the school's music program.
This award was made possible thanks to a $125,000 grant by the Hot Topic Foundation to support high school music programs. Cabrillo High School is the first to benefit from the partnership. The Cabrillo High School band played during the presentation, and the school's music teachers were on hand to receive their grant.
