We Are Future Ready

Rancho Minerva Middle School 8th Graders, Katalina Ramirez and Daniella Ramos were recently invited to speak at the USD MTLC Press Conference in San Diego.  The event highlighted a recent study by the USD MTLC regarding use of technology in our County's schools.  Contrasting some of the data that was shared, including only 11% of middle school students have access to a device full-time; Katalina and Daniella shared about how technology has bridged the gap in their education.
After various superintendents spoke from around San Diego (including Vista's own Dr. Vodicka), Katalina took the podium and virtually stole the show.  Katalina's honest reflection of how technology is impacting her education moved many to react with cheers!

The day was capped off by both Daniella and Katalina being bombarded with requests for interviews from many news sources in San Diego.  From NBC, ABC, FOX to Univision, our Rancho Minerva students represented not only our wonderful school, but the entire Vista Unified School District talking about how we are the true model of excellence in innovation.  Its a good day to be a Mighty Bull!  Its a good day to be a student in Vista.
