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

IHS-US is a small public high school exclusively for recently arrived immigrant English Language Learners who have lived in the U.S. for four years or less. Our students come from over 50 different countries and speak over 25 different native languages. We opened in September 2010 as a member of the nationally recognized INPS.

Our mission is to prepare our multicultural immigrant population to embark on their individual journeys.

Our school thrives on diversity and uses it as a driving force to empower our students to collaborate with others, advocate for themselves and their communities, and identify as global citizens. In addition to class, many of our students work full-time and serve as their families' primary English speakers, leading them to adopt numerous adult responsibilities. In addition, the current political climate can make it difficult for recent immigrants to feel welcome. Thus, this high school is one of the few places they feel safe and able to enjoy life as adolescents.

My Project

IHS-US is a small public high school exclusively for recently arrived immigrant English Language Learners who have lived in the U.S. for four years or less. Our students come from over 50 different countries and speak over 25 different native languages. We opened in September 2010 as a member of the nationally recognized INPS.

Almost all of our students will be first-generation college students.

Therefore, this trip will be incredibly impactful being the first time most of our students will have the opportunity to see and experience a college campus. Getting this type of exposure in their junior year will give them time to study for the SAT and help motivate them academically because they will better understand how their hard work will pay off!

The majority of our students are low-income and have numerous responsibilities, including working after school and on weekends to support their families. They do not have the time or resources to fundraise money for a bus trip or visit colleges on their own time. Visiting a college within the school day will give them insight into the college experience while they can stay committed to their part-time jobs and familial responsibilities once the school day ends.
