“I got to experience first-hand how hard our student members
worked to maintain the goals and pillars of the NTHS,” said CAVA
history teacher and NTHS advisor, Brandi Berba. “I am so proud of
them for winning this award especially since it was only our second
year! I look forward to seeing what they do next.”
During the past school year, CAVA’s NTHS chapter has
participated in all 5 of the NTHS pillars – Skill and Scholarship,
Citizenship and Service, Honesty and Responsibility, Leadership,
and Growth and Development.
In the Skill and Scholarship category alone, CAVA invited over
80 students to lead and participate in a Professor Panel at the
Fresno State University Lyles College of Engineering. The
professors promoted STEM education and engineering and encouraged
students to investigate skill-based career paths giving them a
direct connection between the technical education that CAVA offers
and someone who is interested in a STEM or engineering job. The
event also promoted project-based learning as well as getting a
higher education degree in college.
“The NTHS is an incredible opportunity for students like me,”
said CAVA NTHS student president Sadee Briones. “It encouraged me
to reach higher levels of achievement and gave me a chance to form
relationships with like-minded and driven students who care about
their future.”
The CAVA NTHS chapter was established in 2019, and to date, has
inducted 60 members.
Many families and students choose CAVA because it provides an
alternative to traditional brick-and-mortar education. Athletes,
advanced learners, and students seeking a bullying-free environment
can balance a full academic course load along with medical needs or
extracurricular pursuits like NTHS.
