Keeping Our Promise

Let the Celebrations Begin!

It’s graduation season, and we couldn’t be more proud of our seniors! We’re celebrating the incredible accomplishments of Class of 2025 and all the hard work that brought them to this exciting milestone.

This month we’ve helped students make final college decisions, understand their financial aid packages, and complete important next steps like housing applications, orientation and class sign-ups, and summer program opportunities. We know this season is filled with both excitement and uncertainty, and we’re honored to walk alongside our students and families as they prepare for what comes next. Whether students are heading to college, career training, or exploring new paths, we’re here to ensure they fell confident and supported.

Congrats to all of our seniors! You’ve earned this moment, and we’re celebrating every step of the way!

Program Updates

We hosted our final 9th Grade True Colors Career Exploration Activities for our 9th Grade Scholars at Ontario High School, showing students the importance of personality traits when determining college majors and careers.

We were honored to participate in Valley View High School’s Annual Spring Showcase and Senior Transition Day, the Annual Parent Leadership Conference, Chaffey High School’s AVID Staff Appreciation Event, Senior Exit Interviews, and Graduation, Sultana Sports and Science Academy and Moreno AVID Academy’s Open House, and Corona Elementary’s Annual Carnival.

Lastly, we want to thank all students for participating in the Opportunity Scholarship and also thank all the teachers, staff, and admin who helped promote the Opportunity Scholarship to all of their students! Thanks to the generosity of Vida Credit Union, we were able to award four $10,000 scholarships, four $5,000 scholarships, and two $5,000 Trade scholarships. In total, we had 69 students across the three schools who completed 10 steps and were placed in the raffle for these scholarships. There were 54 students from Chaffey High School. Great job to the students and everyone for their hard work and dedication!

We awarded Opportunity Scholarships for students who completed Steps 9-10 and for students who completed all 10 steps at Montclair, Chaffey, Ontario, and Valley View High School. We also awarded the Vida Credit Union Trade Scholarship for students attending a trade program at Ontario High School.
