Trabuco Hills is proud to honor our CTE Students of the Month
Isabel has a quiet presence in my AP CSP class. She attentive, self-disciplined and motivated in Computer Science. She enjoys all the projects, especially when we work with groups. She is kind and helpful to all her peers. She is a real pleasure to have in class.
Dhruv is in my CSA class. He is bright and intelligent. He did not come to CSA through the CSP pathway. But, he still excels in his work. He works hard and tries to understand concepts, instead of just getting the right answers. His work ethic will carry him successfully throughout his life. He is a pleasure to have in class.
Elina is a leader. She is helpful to all and does so with grace and kindness. She always has substantive, thoughtful answers to everything that we do in class. She truly enjoys computer science and her enthusiasm and joy are truly contagious to peers around her. True pleasure to have in class.
Chloe is a shining star in my CSA class. This is her second year in computer science. She is quiet, but has strong presence. Her work ethic and perseverance has been truly inspiring. She is very kind and helpful to her peers and they all look up to her. Her scores are exemplary and I know she will go far in her CS career through college and beyond.
