Hear from our 11th Grade Students by Junior Jasmine Romero  In 11th grade, HTH students spend 4 weeks working in a company. This year, our students interned at Living Coast Discovery Center, Nanocellect, Pet Hospital of La Mesa, Outside the Lens and many more. Thank you to all the wonderful companies that opened their doors to our students.  11th grade HTH student Isaiah Castro did his internship with Coffman Engineering and got featured on the company website. Check out the story here!  10th grade student Lucia Lopez created the Mechista Magazine by HTH Mecha and the LatinX club.
