Chaffey’s 2018 Dell Scholars

Blog Post by Jose Quintero, AVID Coordinator

Greetings Everyone:

It is my distinguished honor and pleasure to share some incredible news with you all! For the first time in Chaffey’s history both locally here at our high school and within our district, we have TWO students who were selected as DELL SCHOLAR RECIPIENTS for the class of 2018! This scholarship is a nationally recognized, extremely competitive, time consuming and requires multiple phases to complete. Nonetheless, that did not stop our resilient, relentless, bright and gritty young men — both of whom share a story and an incredible academic trajectory. The students will each receive $20,000 each to distribute in four years, a free laptop, textbook credits and individual private counseling during their duration at their respective universities.  This truly takes a village SO THANK YOU to all of you who helped make this possible.
The last time we had a DELL Scholar was in 2015. Our TWO AVID students proudly represent us all as Tigers as well as our entire district. I could not be more proud.

The two RECIPIENTS are


JOSUE MENJIVAR & FELIPE VALDOVINOS

It is a great time to be a tiger …

You might not have heard of this program before, so let me give you a run down. The team is provided with a selection of “problems.” They range from being about building a balsa wood structure to doing an act of community service. Those then have a whole list of elements that we need to make a skit about the “problem” we choose. Continue reading “Destination Imagination” →

Blog post by Sarahi Verdin, class of 2019

The Toyota Mentorship Program has taught me so much including how to be a leader. The Toyota Mentorship takes place every second Wednesday of the month in the Toyota auto part factory here in Ontario. Our mentors are amazing. They teach us various things that will help us become better citizens. We learn how to think outside the box and how to step out of our comfort zones. We hear our mentors’ experiences not just in their careers, but also in life. Toyota Mentorship has taught me lessons Continue reading “Toyota Mentorship Program” →

Chaffey High School has many different cultural groups that are all celebrated for their uniqueness, diversity, and leadership they bring to our campus. Clubs like MECHA and BSU allow for students to connect and celebrate their own cultures as well as learn of other cultures, these clubs allow for our campus to flourish with diversity, leadership, respect, and cultural literacy, however there is one ethnic group who has been in the dark for awhile, because of this the leadership and talents of this group have not been able to shine to their greatest ability. This group is the Asian American and Pacific Islander population of our campus. Continue reading “Asian-American Pacific-Islander Club” →

Chaffey High School chamber singers is very interactive and fun. We usually have about three concerts each year.
