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 Project

My name is Jada Harris, and I am an English teacher and a college and career advisor at my high school. My love for college and career planning has made me want to help others learn about college and career processes and plan their futures. Along with my roles in the school building, I am responsible for maintaining a College and Career Center (CCC). Last school year, my students designed and painted a CCC to provide their peers with a safe and comfortable place to choose post-secondary pathways. This year, we aim to enhance the CCC further to make it more comfortable and accessible for our students.

We have requested bean bag chairs and a carpet to create a non-traditional space for our students to make college and career decisions that will impact their futures.

Additionally, we want to showcase more colleges and are seeking pennants to complete our display. The CCC is a crucial place for our students to make life-changing decisions, and I want to consistently encourage them that they can achieve anything they set their minds to. So, I have asked for motivational posters.

My goal for this project is to improve the college and career process for students of all ages and grades. By implementing this project, we can restore some of the positivity and morale surrounding college and career readiness in our school.
