There was an air conditioning unit that was not working properly in Instructor Lorraine Avalos’ Baldy View ROP Floriculture and Floral Design course at Chaffey High School. Baldy View ROP HVAC Instructor Reyes Vazquez’ students were able to repair the unit. The refrigerator in Instructor Avalos’ classroom had not been working for some time. Instructor Vazquez noticed the faulty appliance when he visited her classroom and asked if he could have his students repair it for extra credit as it would be a good learning experience for them.

The students took the unit to the lab where they checked the major components such as the compressor, condenser, and evaporator motors for electrical abnormalities against the factory specifications. Next, they checked the sequence of operation and discovered the temperature controller was out of range and not meeting the temperature set point. The students replaced the temperature controller and the unit was then able to maintain the 40 degree set point it needed to operate.

“The students were very happy to see the unit function normally after they installed the temperature controller. They were clapping and giving each other high-fives” Instructor Vazquez shared. “It’s gratifying because now the floral arrangements will be able to be preserved for a longer period of time.”

“The refrigerator was completely unable to function and these students did such a fabulous job!” Instructor Avalos shared. “They should be very proud of themselves and it will really Instructor Reyes Vazquez, Chaffey High School senior Omar Vasquez, Chaffey High help our class.” School junior Jorge Medina, Chaffey High School senior Louis Montes, Chaffey High School senior Nick Trujillo, Chaffey High School senior David Flores, adult student Thank you to Instructor Avalos and Instructor Vazquez for Sergio Herman, and Chaffey High School junior Maria Nunez. sharing this story!

Seth then shared his story online at www.baldyviewrop.com/shareyourstory and was selected through a drawing as the winner of two tickets to the Titanic Exhibit at Buena Park. As part of his story, Seth shared, “I would recommend taking an ROP course to another student to simply learn more about what you want to do and get an actual feel about the future after high school. ROP is a great environment for learning and gives you an advantage towards majoring in subjects at college.” Seth shared that he would like to attend a four-year college after he graduates high school where he will study either microbiology or cyber security.

Darlene Garcia is a junior at Los Osos High School and took the Baldy View ROP Sports Medicine course with Instructor Elizabeth McGraw. In the course, Darlene interned at Bellwood Chiropractic in Rancho Cucamonga through the course’s Community Classroom component. After completing the course, Darlene was hired to continue working at Bellwood Chiropractic. “My experience working at Bellwood as a student was wonderful,” Darlene said. “Ms. McGraw is a wonderful teacher, I learned a so much, and made many friends through the program. My current supervisors, Dr. Diane and Leslie Walt Bellwood, were so open to having me work with them during my class and are so supportive of me now.” In her current position, Darlene works the front desk where she schedules appointments and helps patients in a variety of ways. She shows patients to their rooms and asks them preliminary questions about their physical condition. She attributes her Sports Medicine course with teaching her how to identify various types of injuries. She enjoys her work as it allows her to help people, which she is passionate about doing. Once she graduates from high school, Darlene wants to attend college and study to become a registered nurse specializing in the pediatric department. Instructor McGraw teaches the Baldy View ROP Sports Medicine course at Chino Hills High School where students regularly have the opportunity to intern at various clinics and medical facilities as a Community Classroom. This allows the students the opportunity to get hands-on experience that reinforces what they learn in the classroom as well as receive valuable on-the-job training that prepares them for entry-level employment. The course also meets the “g/Elective” criteria for UC a-g requirements and has an articulation agreement with Mt. San Antonio College.

Josh has previously worked for his church in I.T. and network administration. Josh credits his Baldy View ROP course with having introduced him to the technology field. “ROP gives students a chance to focus on an industry that interests them and get hands-on experience to explore if it’s something they want to pursue. They’re exposed to teachers who are veterans in their field who serve as great resources to their students,” Josh shared.

Governor Jerry Brown has included a significant boost in his budget for Career Technical Education (CTE) across the state. Part of this budget includes the $400 million CTE Incentive Grant which is designed to encourage school districts to partner with colleges and businesses, as well as to support the emergence of new and developing CTE programs. Consortiums who receive funds through the grant will have to match funding dollar-for-dollar and prove their effectiveness in a variety of criteria including graduation rates, course-completion rates, and the number of students receiving certificates and industry certifications through these courses. Baldy View ROP and its member districts Chaffey Joint Union High School District, Chino Valley, Claremont, and Upland Unified School Districts, have assembled a consortium to apply for this grant opportunity. Good luck to all of us!

www.baldyviewrop.com Page 8 Alumni Profile “I quickly realized that the concepts I was learning in ROP were giving me a head start in finding an actual, paying-job. The knowledge that I gained in ROP has carried over to my current job at the scene shop. To have moved forward this quickly within three years of graduating from high school has been wonderful.” - Kyle Harte, Citrus College Theatre Scene Shop and Theatre student

Kyle Harte graduated from Claremont High School in 2013 where he took the Baldy View ROP course, Stage Technology, with Instructor Tom Evans. He currently works at the theatre scene shop at Citrus College. He is also currently enrolled in Citrus College’s Emerging Theatre Technologies program where he is furthering his studies in stage technology with an emphasis in lighting.

“The Baldy View ROP course I took really impacted my current educational track. What I learned then supports what ’I m learning now.”

Just like his Stage Technology course at Claremont High School, Kyle’s current college courses are hands-on. Kyle works behind the scenes in helping the Theatre Department at Citrus College to put on theatrical performances and concerts. It is in the hands-on approach to learning that Kyle appreciated so much in high school.

“I learned the difference between a hobby and a career path when I took an ROP course,” Kyle said. “I ran on the Track and Field team and it became very clear to me that running track really wasn’t leading me to my personal career aspirations. I knew that Stage Technology was more than a hobby and worth more of my energy for my future.”

Kyle’s goals are to finish the Emerging Theatre Technologies program at Citrus College and graduate with his Associates Degree. He then hopes to continue taking courses at a four-year college and would eventually like to work for Disney or get involved with television and film.
