Ferentinos

A memorial service for longtime high school journalism adviser Nick Ferentinos will be held at Homestead High School, 21370 Homestead Road in Cupertino, on Saturday, March 5 at 1:30 pm in the school’s auditorium. A reception in the school’s cafeteria will follow the service.

Ferentinos, 73, was the faculty adviser for Homestead’s student
newspaper, the Epitaph, from 1976 to 1994. He died Jan. 25 from lung
cancer.

The Journalism Education Association of Northern California said Ferentinos will be remembered as among the most
significant advisers in California history for his role as a champion of student press rights.
