Student Report

Student board member, Noor Esmailpour, shared the following highlights with the board:

 

  • Students are very excited about their move up to the 3rd and 4th floors that took place after spring break and how much the new addition has added excitement and energy to the school.
  • A group of students recently attended a leadership conference in Chicago.
  • HSHMC was well represented at the HOSA competition in March. Four of our teams (5 students each team) placed in the top 5 for the EMT event.
  • One of our seniors, Tony Torres, is a Gate Scholar and was matched with Emory for a full ride.
  • Seniors are excited about their upcoming Prom which will be held at the Soap Factory. This venue was secured at a major discount through HSHMC's community schools partnerships.
  • Graduation is being held again this year SDSU on May 29.
  • Noor herself has accepted admission to attend UCLA!

CEO Comments

CEO, Ian Pumpian shared the following items for information and discussion:

 

  • Oscar Corrigan was introduced to the board. Javier Vaca has moved on to a new opportunity with the San Diego County Office of Education and Oscar will has taken over most of Javier's responsibilities. Ian commended Oscar for the fine job he has done thus far.
  • Shauntel Burton was introduced to the board. She is one of the school's administrative assistants and handles some of the school's finances. Sheri is training her on some of the administrative board responsibilities.
  • Ian shared his appreciative to the Sharp Foundation for the Robert Wood Johnson grant opportunity that was submitted by the Foundation to benefit HSHMC. This grant would help HSHMC fund a part-time social worker, an academic coach, and a new an HR job coach position within Sharp that would support current seniors with their post-secondary job aspirations. This new position is very innovative and would benefit both Sharp Healthcare and HSHMC students. If the grant is not funded we still need to leverage our relationship with HR and to look for other funding to support this effort.
  • Bus lease costs are expensive. HSHMC employs a professional bus driver and staff who are trained to drive the bus(es). The school leases a van, and a 40 passenger bus but are currently looking to purchase a 60-passenger van and is in need of a cost-saving place to park the bus. Ian wondered if there was a place at Sharp that could house the bus(es). Dan Gross and Michael Berg will followup on this item.
  • Ian asked Jason about the status of the posters to help advertise student opportunities at HSHMC. Jason will follow up on the distribution of the advertisements.
  • Ian asked Dom to update the board on scholarship opportunities for students at HSHMC. Dom highlighted several students and their academic accomplishments. Dan suggested that a list be developed for the board that showcases all the post-secondary outcomes of this year's seniors.
