On December 18, 2024, SIATech El Centro High School (ECIS) Students Estrella, Remi, and Daisy as well as SIATech's Community Schools Engagement Coordinator, Jose Martinez, received a certificate with other members of the Imperial County community for volunteering with the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU).
They were recognized for their contributions during the Imperial County's Civic Engagement Program.
Mr. Martinez shared that the students were overcome with joy as they realized the difference they are making in their community. In addition, the students were also added to an ACLU mural.
Mr. Martinez has been working with the ACLU for the last year and half, and the partnership has been a crucial part in allowing students to connect with their community while opening the door for new opportunities.
Congratulations to Mr. Martinez, Estrella, Remi, and Daisy for this great accomplishment!
