Drake Myers Grads from Berkeley,Heads to Teach in Baltimore

Drake D. Myers, a longtime Culver City resident and honors graduate from Culver City High in 2012, has received his Bachelor's Degree from UC Berkeley in the fast-growing field of Cognitive Sciences but will eschew a high-paying job in Silicon Valley to instead head east to teach math in Baltimore's inner-city schools.

Myers, 21, has been accepted by the prestigious Teach for America program. After his two-year stint, Myers may pursue a law degree, a Master's in Business Administration-or just keep on teaching.

Drake Myers is the son of proud parents David and Carole Myers. Drake's younger sister, Miranda, recently finished her first year at USC and is majoring in journalism.
