We have just received the following FANTASTIC news:
Our grant application for the new cafeteria/careertech-ed facility for the high school was approved for submission of consideration for funding!
We scored high and may be awarded a little over $2,000,000. This is a great opportunity, as it would allow us to build a new state-of-art 12,000+ square foot facility at the high school that will serve as a culinary arts center and multipurpose room/cafeteria (we already have state approved plans for the building).
Once the building is completed, we will begin an all new career pathways program in culinary arts and hospitality.
The challenge is that we have to come up with a $2 million match for the project. We have a short window to identify the matching funds to receive the state share. The state must receive our plan by the end of March. We are determined to find these funds without impacting any of our current K-12 Programs.
While we have a big challenge ahead of us, I know that together we can find a way to make this happen.
Thank you all for your support of this project and your commitment to the students of Holtville!

Thank you Adrianne, I appreciate your comments. This was truly a team effort. Our lead writer, Mrs. Wells, myself, John-Paul Wells, Celso Ruiz, Mitch Drye, Mary Camacho and Lupe Garcia from IV-ROP, Carol and Lola from the DO, Jacki and several teachers from the HS, our outstanding Community Committee, our school board and many others worked hard to make this happen. We are now working hard to identify and secure matching funds so that this much needed project can go forward.
