Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Project
In my 9th grade enrichment course, students explore and develop both academic and career pathways. Students will engage in enrichment topics related to college, work, and society to acquire the 21st century skills necessary to their success as global citizens.
Focused research and creative inquiry projects e.g., project-based learning, youth participatory action research, self-selected study, will develop students’ critical thinking skills and strategies to research, analyze, interpret, evaluate and synthesize information across disciplines.
College and career preparation topics will develop and enhance student capacity for success in post-graduation technical education, academic, and/or career pathways. This mobile, standing desk will make this reality come true bringing a sense of pride and professionalism to their presentations. Help our first year technical high school students start their paths on the right foot.
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
