As a staff, we are honored to have Ms. Jung Chae as a member of the Husky family.

This year, the GATE students were asked to create and design their own museum. This museum, they were told, would be built in West Covina, and the students needed to abide by certain criteria (total square footage of the museum, number of rooms, etc). The students were asked to calculate and come up with dimensions of each exhibit so that the total area of the museum would not exceed 13,000 square feet. In addition, they were asked to come up with their own exhibit that would be unique to West Covina. Students needed to rely on all content areas of school in addition to technology.

This year’s participants are: Samantha Saucedo and Matthew Pineda

 Ysabel Sarinas, Jessica Doan,and Amrita Kaur – 1^st place

The mission of Hollencrest Middle School is to offer the best possible comprehensive middle school experience that maximizes each student’s potential by developing individuals with the ability to reason, speak, read, and write effectively.  Working together with parents, we promote in our students a strong sense of responsibility and self-esteem as we equip them with the ability to succeed socially, physically and intellectually.  We prepare students to function in a technologically advanced society preparing them for the challenges of high school, life long learning and responsible citizenship.
