Harlingen Collegiate High School

My name is Donna

Garcia, a senior at

Harlingen Collegiate High.

This is Champions check

in. Welcome to Harlingen

Collegiate High. This is

our grand commons area.

This is where we

eat our meals. It's

the first thing we

see in the day,

which is a beautiful

sight. And we also

have the learning stairs,

which is really unique

to our campus. We

offer three pathways here

at Harlingen Collegiate High.

First, let's highlight the

engineering pathway. Hi, my

name is Natalie Flotus

and I'm a part

of the engineering pathway

here at Collegiate Eye.

Welcome in. So this

is our engineering room

where we do a

lot of hands on

activities, including robotics,

which is right behind

me. So I'm actually

a part of the

robotics team here at

hch. So we actually

have a big competition

this weekend. So we're

hoping to make it

a state once again.

Also in the engineering

pathway, we're able to

use various machines such

as these 3D printers

that allow us and

prepare us for our

future careers. And that's

just a sneak peek

of how much we

do in the engineering

pathway. Thank you, Natalie.

Good luck at your

competition. Thank you. That

was our engineering pathway.

Next, we're going to

highlight the education

pathway. Hello, my name

is Andrea Mora and

I'm a part of

the Harlingen Collegiate High

aspiring teacher pathway.

Here is our reading

area and in this

area, it's designed to

mimic an elementary classroom

setting. This year I

got to go on

a field experience and

I taught elementary kids

and got to make

oobleck with them. As

part of the human

growth and development class,

I got to take

care of a baby

for a whole week.

This teaches us the

stages of taking care

of an infant, from

child to elderly. And

that ties together our

aspiring teacher pathway

here. I also got

to finish my senior

year with some college

credits in the education

field and I plan

to attend UTRGV and

hopefully one day become

a superintendent. Next, let's

highlight the computer

science pathway. Let me

introduce you to one

of their students. Hello,

my name is Zachary

Lopez and I'm a

student part of the

computer science pathway at

Harlan Junior Collegiate

High. So in the

beginning of this class,

we first learned how

to make HCL code

for websites. We used

Python to make simple

programs. That was the

first year with fundamentals

and honestly it was

really fun right off

the bat. And we

went to second year,

it was all Java

code, learning more complex

codes. And then by

my junior year I

was ready to jump

into the college classes

and so we started

learning more Python. So

this senior year we

got into UTRGV courses

so I can earn

my credit so when

I go to college

I won't have to

start. I already have

that kind of idea

of what the real

college class is going

to be. They have

different courses, different

classes, and it's just,

it's such a fun

experience here with the

computer science program.

Thank you for visiting

Harlingen Collegiate High.

Registration is now open.

You can visit hiast.org

we hope you apply

so you can be

a part of AO

and Vaquero Nation visa.
