Course Description
MESA is the "Math, Engineering and Science Achievement" club chartered at VHS by CSU-Fullerton. Students compete in various math and science events at CSUF's Engineering Day and then again at MESA Day. The organization also helps students explore options for college through the UC Gateways website. The club is open to any student who is on a college-prep track of academics at Valencia High School. The club activities run throughout the school year. We meet every Tuesday at break in Room 1107 and at other after-school times scheduled throughout the school year.
This year our students did really well at MESA Day on April 22nd. They competed against other MESA students from Imperial, Riverside, Orange, and San Diego counties. Here are the results:
Briana Vu - 1st place solo math delegate (Geom)
Timmy Dang - 1st place solo math delegate (Alg2)
Alejandro Dos Reis - 2nd place solo math delegate (Alg2)
Stanley Huang - 1st place solo math delegate (T/MA)
Danny Chung - 1st place solo math general competition (T/MA)
Ryan Low - 3rd place solo math general competition (T/MA)
Pavandeep Rakha, Michelle Kim, Simona Bor - 1st place team math (Alg2)
Natalie Dang, Kara Godshalk, Racha Khalaf - 1st place team math (Calc)
Jason Caffrey & Alejandro Dos Reis - 1st place manila folder bridge (strength/weight ratio)
Yash Patel - 1st place impromptu speech
Additonally, the following MESA students were honored at the MESA awards banquet at Cal State University, Fullerton on May 17th: Racha Khalaf (outstanding senior VHS MESA student and MESA scholarship recipient), Alejandro Dos Reis (outstanding underclass VHS MESA student) and Nick Patel, Cynthia Flores, Stanley Huang, Pavan Rahka, and Simona Bor (top 20% VHS MESA students). Valencia High School received the "Best Mathematicians" award from MESA-CSUF.
One of our students will be attending the John Hopkins Summer Program (an exploratory science-based course) at CSUF this summer through MESA.
