The 2012 HISP seniors are on the move,
ready to take the next step to
post-secondary education or in service
to others. Like those who have gone
before, seniors received acceptances
from schools throughout the region,
state, and nation. They leave HISP
exceptionally prepared for the rigors of
college and beyond. The
HISP College Bound Report lists over
500 acceptances offered to HISP seniors
from nearly 130 institutions. Nearly all
seniors (118) will be attending college
in the fall; three of our students have
chosen to spend a year or more in
service to others. Congratulations, HISP
Class of 2012!
(May 2012)
As we race
through the last quarter of the
2011-2012 academic year, it’s nice to
take a breath, exhale and look back at
how the year has gone. For me it is a
bittersweet look back, as my daughter
and our last child graduates from HISP
at CKM and moves on to college after
four fantastic years here (18 really,
since she grew up at McClatchy High
School).

HISP and PTSA Partner to
Strengthen School Programs
The HISP Council and PTSA have awarded
$9,000 in mini-grants to strengthen
school programs that benefit CKM
students. Using surplus donations from
HISP and PTSA annual fundraising drives,
nine projects that strengthen academic
offerings or enhance electives, the
arts, and the humanities were funded.
Materials with a life-span beyond one
year were given top priority. The HISP
Council and PTSA are pleased to announce
the following awards:
- AP Biology
($1,605): Lab equipment to meet
criteria of the AP Biology exam
(recently revised by the College
Board)
- AP Psychology
($790): Model of the human brain
that can be disassembled for focused
examination
- Chemistry ($862):
Lab stools so every student has a
seat at a lab table to conduct
experiments
- English 9 ($390):
Of Mice and Men (35 copies/class
set) for freshman literature class
- Music ($2,000):
New sheet music for all instrumental
classes
- Ceramics ($924):
Tools for students to use in
producing work
- German 3/4
($500): Literature books to complete
a class set
- Spanish ($1,600):
Laptop/projector/document
camera/cart to augment classroom
instruction with rich and varied
online resources
- Counseling Office

This year’s requests totaled over
$28,000, three times the amount
available. Mini-grants are offered
periodically as surplus funds
accumulate. If you would like to make a
donation to help build the fund for our
next round of mini-grants, you may
donate online (see PayPal link on HISP
home page) or mail a check payable to
HISP to the HISP office. Thank you to

generous donations to HISP and the PTSA.
