Northrop Grumman solves the toughest problems in space, aeronautics, defense and cyberspace worldwide. Their 90,000 employees are Defining Possible every day using science, technology and engineering to create and deliver advanced systems, products and services. You may not know that Northrop Grumman is also a valued partner of San Diego Unified and they reach our students in multiple ways. During the 2019-2020 school year eight students from our district participated in the Northrop Grumman High School Involvement Partnership (HIP) Program. The experience is designed to support high school students to successfully complete college studies in engineering, physics, computer science, math, or cybersecurity. Students are selected as they enter their Junior year of high school. San Diego Unified is very proud of the following seven students who have been chosen to return for a second year of the program during their Senior year: San Diego High School SciTech: Anissa Chavarria, Hunter Hayes, and Aaron Hermosillo Hoover High School: Yosief Abraham, Antonio Esparza, Toan Le, and Rene Rodriguez. During the second year of the program the students will be assigned to a mentor at Northrop Grumman and be given an opportunity to solve a real world problem alongside a professional engineer.
Congratulations to the students for earning these valuable experiences! We are very thankful to Northrop Grumman and their team for believing in our students and community to open up a world of possibilities in the future.
