Students describe STEM, esports and an advocacy trip to Harrisburg
Loading...
Summary
Student leaders from STEM Academy and Chester High presented senior‑year activities, senior trips and school programs and said a group of students will travel to Harrisburg on May 6 to meet a senator and advocate for Chester‑Upland SD funding.
Student leaders used the public‑presentation portion of the April 23 meeting to report on school activities and upcoming events. Daniel Storey, senior class president for STEM Academy, outlined recent and planned senior activities, including a National Honor Society induction, a senior brunch on April 16, CTE testing and Keystone exams in May, and two senior trips (Baltimore Wax Museum and Dorney Park).
Chester High representative Sakai Miller described student activities including an esports Mario Kart tournament and the senior project. Miller also announced an advocacy day on May 6 in Harrisburg: "we'll be participating in advocacy day where our students from Chester High will go to Harrisburg, and there they will meet up with the senator and be offered the opportunity to speak and advocate for Chester Upland School District's funding," Miller said.
Why it matters: Student presentations provide the board with direct information about senior‑year logistics, testing schedules and student‑led initiatives. The announced Harrisburg trip is a civic engagement opportunity combining student voice and district funding priorities.
The presentations included acknowledgments of advisers and staff who supported these events: Storey named advisers Mr. Perquette (STEM) and Miss Knox (Chester High) and thanked the senior advisers and staff who supported senior brunch and other activities. Miller credited advisers and said 3 seniors will attend the May 22 tournament at DCIU.
The board offered thanks for the student reports; no board action was tied to the student presentations themselves.
