Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate 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 Students

Our High School opened its doors in 1968 and just celebrated its 50th anniversary in September 2018. We are located on the central coast of California in the City and County of Santa Cruz. The Santa Cruz County Office of Education serves ten county school districts including Santa Cruz City Schools (SCCS). Harbor, home of the Pirates, is one of three comprehensive high schools, 2 middle schools and 5 elementary schools in SCCS. Harbor High has a current enrollment of 847 students for grades 9-12, and the school offers students a multitude of learning and extracurricular opportunities to facilitate the growth and development of each student who walks onto our campus. Harbor provides a comprehensive education that includes a full athletic program, AVID program, Newcomer ELD program, SAIL special education program, and Career Technical Education (CTE) program on the campus.

Harbor High school is a welcoming place where with a diverse student population and numerous opportunities for students to learn and grow.

54% of our students qualify for Free or Reduced Lunch benefits and many of our students come from under-resourced families. In 2017-18 we had 133 (16%) English Learners and 5 (4%) RFEP students.

My Project

The power and flexibility of iPad give students the freedom to explore and express new ideas whenever and wherever inspiration strikes. Mac has the power to bring their biggest ideas to life. And built-in apps and intuitive software create an incredibly personal learning experience for each student — one that can be as unique as each student. Apple education has developed tools to make it easy for teachers to guide how our students use devices and apps in the classroom, and to provide valuable insight into each student’s progress. Apple products can be powerful teaching tools, especially when educators get the support and know-how to fully unlock their capabilities. Apple also designed programs to help teachers learn from each other, professional learning resources to build skills and confidence with iPad and Mac.
