Pictured outside the Appropriations Committee Room, Congresswoman Lucille Roybal-Allard visits with 15-year-old Mayfair High School junior Rudolph Heib of Bellflower during his week in Washington, D.C. as a participant in Presidential Classroom. Rudolph was among nine juniors and seniors from California and more than 130 from throughout the country selected to participate in the distinguished program. In addition to good grades, students eligible to participate in Presidential Classroom must demonstrate a commitment to extracurricular activities and community service. During the week-long program, participants interact with a variety of government officials, including Members of Congress, presidential appointees, senior military officials, top business leaders and journalists. Students observe the U.S. Congress in action, visit their member’s congressional office and debate current issues with peers from the United States and abroad and visit many of the renowned sites in our nation's capital. Rudolph’s group also worked on a research project to find solutions to the energy crisis. Rudolph is the son of Christopher and Sandra Heib of Bellfllower.
