Approximately 50 students participated, working on general projects to tidy up the campus. Students earned community service hours to put toward the 40 hours required for graduation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>New technology course<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Technology Department will pilot a new class called MESA (Math Engineering Science Achievement) starting in January. We are hoping to align more with industry standards and are hoping to grow pathways from this new class.<\/p>\n<p>Helix already has an after school program for those interested in Engineering, Architecture and Construction (ACE). In this program, students learn elements of all three areas, and create a model of an actual structure, using the principles learned. They then participate in an event with other ACE programs from around the county where each school showcases their project. Helix students consistently earn scholarships and cash awards at the event each year.<\/p>\n<p>The new MESA course and the ACE program continues Helix\u2019s efforts to prepare students for life after graduation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Helix Girls and Boys Golf programs<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Helix Girls and Boys Golf Programs are selling discounted ($15 off the regular price), single day admission tickets to the PGA Farmers Insurance Open at Torrey Pines Golf Course, which will take place Jan. 25\u201329, 2017. Tickets are $35 each, with $25 from each ticket sold going back to the Helix Golf Programs. The money raised will be used to support equipment and operating costs.
