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
As a third-year school counselor at Pena, I have had the pleasure of working with a vast majority of my students for the past three years in the midst of COVID-19. My students inspire me daily with their positive mindsets, hard work ethic, kindness, compassion, and kind-hearted spirits despite the everyday obstacles they face in their personal lives outside of the school setting. Many students identify Pena as their safe haven.
COVID-19 has profoundly impacted my students over the past years in a variety of aspects socially, emotionally, and academically.
For a long period of time, my students were to remain at home and weren't physically allowed to attend school causing social isolation, lack of interaction with peers their age leading to depression, anxiety, and at times, living in an unsafe environment.
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
