ARTS: A Reason to Survive

Thanks for one of SUHi's awesome teachers, Ms. Tellez, the counselors were able to visit the ARTS center of National City, CA. ARTS stands for A Reason To Survive. The ARTS center is a place for young people to use art to heal themselves from the challenges of life, inspire themselves to foster their love of art, and empower students to follow their artistic passions.

The ARTS center is open to students ages 3 to 23. The classes offered range from ceramics, music, paining, sculpting, film production, dance, theater, and more! Fashion and photography classes are in the works! Classes are held in the evenings and weekends. The classes are at no-cost! Any student who is interested in encouraged to visit their counselor to get an application or visit the ARTS center to get more information.

The SUHi counselors fell in love with ARTS! We know many of our students will too! We have so many students who love art and need a place to develop their passion and learn more about art. 

Check out the pictures below from our visit! The ARTS center is an awesome facility! The ARTS center is beautifully decorated with art projects created by ARTS students themselves!

High School Filipin@ Graduation of San Diego

Hello Friends, Families, & Kasamas in the Community,

We are extremely excited to announce our 5th Year of the all High School Filipin@ Graduation of San Diego.  This event has been a very important event for us and the community, as well as the High School Seniors it honors.  We are attaching an official press release and flyers to pass out to potential participants. Whether you work with, are related to or know any High School Seniors, we implore you to inform them of this event.  It is not strictly for Filipin@ students, so anyone is welcome, as long as they are graduating this year.  Please visit our website for more information : www.hsfilgradsd.webs.com.

This event is unique as it not only honors the students with a graduation ceremony, but will recognize each individual student by having them share a few words on stage, and we celebrate their family and friends with a reception afterward. We hope you share the vision we have for this celebration and make this a successful memorable event. We look forward to holding this event for many years to come.

To further your support of the HS FilGrad, we also collect donations from the community, to enable this event to be free for the participants.  Please visit our KickStarter campaign HERE, to find out how you may help out this very important event.

Thank you so much for your time,
Lily Prijoles

The External Affair's High School Conference will take place on April 28th from 8am to 8pm. This conference operates to give local San Diego high school students of diverse communities the opportunity to get information about the resources available to them in order to get into higher education institutions. The purpose of this program is to reach out to high school students and show them that higher education and the means to get there are not intimidating when they have the knowledge and the information on how to to get there. We would like to provide students with that information and thereby inspire them to pursue higher education whether through community college and transfer routes or through the straight path into four-year universities. We would like to foster this by also allowing them spaces to talk about their identities, struggles, and the structures that contribute to the former two. 

Here is the application that students need to fill out in order to participate:
