Congratulations to our January Student of the Month, Angelina Espinosa!
Angelina Espinosa was honored with the La Cuesta Student of the Month award for January 2020. The award is given to students who have demonstrated outstanding academic and personal achievement and who are nominated by their teachers.
Mike Mowers, La Cuesta teacher, states, “Ang came to La Cuesta at the beginning of last year and now she is on track for early graduation. She is the first to finish her work, is open to trying new things, and welcomes other students. She credits her grandma as her rock and says that her success is due to the staff getting to know the students.”
The Rotary Club of Santa Barbara Sunrise is committed to supporting youth organizations and youth-serving programs in Santa Barbara County. Beginning in 1999, the club sponsored the Student of the Month program at El Puente Community School until the school closed in 2013. This is the third year for our Student of the Month program at La Cuesta Continuation High School.
La Cuesta Continuation High School is a comprehensive alternative education program offering a variety of instructional options to meet the educational needs of students. Classes are kept small to allow interaction and an exchange of ideas between students and teachers and between students themselves. As well as cooperative and collaborative classroom activities, each student’s individual educational needs are recognized and incorporated into the structured school day. The school is part of the Santa Barbara Unified School District and is led by Lauren Berlin, Principal, and Susan Snyder, Guidance Counselor.
