PLTW is a nonprofit organization that serves millions of PreK-12 students and teachers in more than 12,200 schools across the U S GTHS’ engineering pathway is designed as a multi-year, comprehensive program that engages them through project based learning in the classroom
"I enjoyed the engineering pathway because it allowed me to collaborate with my friends on fun projects,” senior Ezekiel Sihaloho said “It also gave me the opportunity to expand my knowledge on certain world problems and attempt to solve them through engineering "
GTHS is one of 262 high schools across the U S to receive this honor for providing broad access to transformative learning experiences for students through PLTW’s computer science, engineering, and biomedical pathways
“The goal is to give the students as many opportunities as possible to explore the fields and skills they will need to be successful as adults in the future,” teacher Matthew Johnson said “We want to give our students the opportunity to explore, fail until they succeed, and gain confidence in problem solving solutions that will help them in all ranges of their future lives"
Recently, representatives from Arevon Energy, Rosendin Electric and the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers spoke with students about the Condor Energy Storage Project, which broke ground near the school in February
When complete, it will provide battery storage to help increase the reliability of the energy grid during peak demand times and help reduce blackouts in Grand Terrace in the surrounding area
They also described how battery storage works They talked to the students about the electrical industry and engineering and what they look like when
applied in the real world and about apprenticeships and opportunities available in our region
The PLTW Distinguished School recognition honors schools committed to increasing student access, engagement, and achievement in their PLTW programs
“We are proud to recognize Grand Terrace High School for their commitment to providing students with exceptional educational experiences while ensuring equitable access to PLTW programs,” said Dr David Dimmett, PLTW President and CEO "We congratulate them on this achievement and celebrate their important work empowering students with the knowledge and skills to succeed, not only in STEM subjects, but also more generally in life and career "
Students in Grand Terrace High School’s Engineering pathway take four years of technical classes alongside their other subjects, including Introduction to Design, Principles of Engineering, Digital Electronics and Engineering and Design Development
"As a member of the engineering pathway for 4 years I can honestly say it has been the best program I have been a part of,” senior Krystal Luna said “There is so much room for creativity and innovation within the classes The pathway allows you to not only learn about the fundamentals of engineering but to execute them in fun collaborative projects It is a different kind of learning that can be molded for everyone "
The GTHS Engineering Pathway is one of numerous career pathways and career technical education courses available throughout the Colton Joint Unified School District, including pathways in medical fields, art and design, welding, business entrepreneurship, hospitality and law enforcement
“We are proud to be able to offer these opportunities to our students,” Superintendent Frank Miranda said “We strive to provide them with skills and connections that will help them navigate successfully to the next stage of their journeys when they graduate from our schools ”

estaba trabajando en construcción cuando sufrió una grave lesión Sin saber cuánto duraría su rehabilitación, su mayor preocupación era cómo iba a pagar las facturas y mantener una vivienda Todo cambió cuando un amigo de Antonio le contó sobre un servicio gratuito de asesoramiento sobre temas de vivienda Los asesores de este programa ofrecen asesoramiento y capacitación gratuitos sobre morosidad en temas hipotecarios, alquiler de una vivienda, preparación para la compra de una vivienda, hipotecas inversas e incluso medidas de prevención para no terminar sin un lugar donde vivir
La financiación de este servicio procede de los Presupuestos del Estado de California por medio del Acuerdo Hipotecario Nacional (National Mortgage Settlement, o NMS, por sus siglas en inglés) y está administrado por la Agencia de Financiamiento de la Vivienda de California (California Housing Finance Agency, o CalHFA, por sus siglas en inglés) Por medio de su Programa de Asesoramiento de Vivienda del NMS, CalHFA ya ha ayudado a más de 50,000 familias a encontrar asesores de vivienda certificados por el Departamento de Vivienda y Desarrollo Urbano (HUD, por su sigla en inglés) en todo el estado, para recibir servicios de asesoramiento de vivienda gratuitos y confidenciales
Un asesor sobre temas de vivienda trabajó
con Antonio, respondiendo a sus preguntas sobre opciones bancarias y crediticias La sesión se centró en cómo podría alcanzar sus objetivos financieros incluso aunque no pudiera trabajar debido a la lesión Trabajaron en los aspectos básicos de la creación de crédito y revisaron el proceso bancario, ya que Antonio no tenía una cuenta bancaria El asesor de vivienda le ayudó a establecer un presupuesto general para administrar sus gastos y empezar a ahorrar para alcanzar sus objetivos financieros Además, el asesor sobre temas de vivienda le ayudó a inscribirse en un curso de inglés como segundo idioma (ESL, por sus siglas en inglés), porque el idioma era algo que Antonio quería mejorar También lo refirieron a un activista y defensor de derechos que le ayudó a presentar una solicitud de indemnización por accidente laboral
"Los californianos que trabajan duro y merecen participar en el ‘sueño americano’ no siempre tienen una ‘red de seguridad’ a la que recurrir en tiempos difíciles", dijo Tiena Johnson Hall, Directora Ejecutiva de la Agencia de Financiación de la Vivienda de California "Este programa ayuda a las personas a estabilizar su situación de vida al recibir asesoramiento y acceso a programas y recursos que de otro modo no conocerían"
Para encontrar un asesor, cualquier persona puede visitar el sitio web de CalHFA y buscar “NMS”, o ir directamente a la página
de asesoramiento en https://www calhfa ca gov/community/nms /resources htm Todas las sesiones son gratuitas, y los propietarios de viviendas pueden ponerse en contacto con una de estas organizaciones aunque no vivan en la misma zona geográfica, ya que el asesoramiento se puede hacer por teléfono o por videollamada
El Programa de Asesoramiento sobre temas de Vivienda del NMS ayudó a Antonio a superar un momento difícil Tiempo más tarde, cuando volvió a ponerse en contacto con la persona que le asesoró, para ver cómo le iba, se alegró de haber abierto una cuenta bancaria, de estar mejorando su calificación crediticia y de haber empezado un curso de inglés (ESL) en un colegio comunitario Y lo que es más importante, Antonio logró mantenerse en su hogar y mantuvo su vivienda
Johnson Hall añadió: "El asesoramiento sobre temas de vivienda es un servicio crucial que reduce el número de personas sin hogar, se enfrenta a la inseguridad en temas de vivienda y reduce los obstáculos para llegar a ser propietario de una casa, todo lo cual puede encaminar a las personas hacia el bienestar financiero Espero que toda persona que tenga problemas (de vivienda) aproveche esta oportunidad de ayuda gratuita"
