The Los Angeles High School for the Arts, or LACHSA has an impressive list of alumni, including singer Josh Groban and actress Jenna Elfman of ABC's sitcom "Dharma and Greg." The school started in 1985 and ever since, it has borrowed classroom space from Cal State LA, near Alhambra. 

But as KPCC's Mary Plummer reports, this year its students got one thing they've always wanted.
