It’s American Education Week - a time for us to celebrate our public education system and all of the people who work hard every day to ensure our young people are informed and prepared to succeed in life after graduation. Congratulations are in order for Liberty High School junior Ivette Alonso Garcia! She has been named Oregon’s Title IC Migrant Student of the Year! Her selection was announced at an event in Salem on Friday, November 4th. Ivette runs Track, plays Varsity Tennis, participates in the O-ACE program for future pilots and aviation mechanics, is involved with advocacy clubs, and is one of the District’s Student Representatives to the School Board. In announcing her as Student of the Year, the following was said about Ivette: “She is described as a role model student who is involved in supporting her community, and has excellent academic achievement. Her desire to support her community and fellow migrant students has allowed her to take on volunteer leadership positions and a representative position with the Board of Directors in the Hillsboro School District. Her plan is to amplify the voices of migrant families and students of color by advocating for more support.” Way to go, Ivette! You make us Proud to be HSD!
