• Ventura, Moorpark colleges plan campus dorms (vcstar.com) — Moorpark College is pursuing a $66 million state grant to build on-campus housing for about 200 students, with rents far below typical Moorpark apartments. If funded, construction could start in 2028 and finish in 2030, offering more secure, affordable housing for local students who now struggle with high rents, food insecurity, and couch-surfing.
   

• Moorpark High's Davis Benson has done more than burst onto the scene (latimes.com subscription) — Moorpark High School senior Davis Benson is emerging as one of California's most dynamic multi-sport athletes, starring in both football and track. His explosive speed and 40-inch vertical have him weighing college options in track, football, or even the decathlon, giving Moorpark fans another standout to watch after NFL receiver Drake London.
