A lifelong resident of the Sunset, Wong has been a member of the City College Board of Trustees for five years and currently advocates for San Francisco’s children and families through his work at the Children’s Council of San Francisco. He has served in the California Army National Guard since 2009.
Under Coach Rush’s leadership, the Rams amassed an astonishing record: 326 wins, 92 losses, and 4 ties. From 1990 to 2014, the team boasted the highest winning percentage in the nation, securing seven national championships, seven state championships, 14 Northern California championships and 22 conference titles.

I’m proud to move forward a proposal to protect and establish Cantonese language programs at City College of San Francisco.
Wong attended Herbert Hoover Middle School and graduated from Abraham Lincoln High School in 2005. Thanks to City College of San Francisco classes he took as a teenager, Wong was able to graduate from University of California, San Diego (UCSD) at age 19 in 2007.
