Walking to End Type 1 Diabetes
Dawson High School HOSA students walked to fundraise to end Type 1 diabetes on Saturday, October 28th at the NRG stadium. These motivated students collectively raised a total of $485 to support the cause. Robert Leal, the vice president of the Dawson HOSA Chapter, describes his experience, “The best part of the walk was not only crossing the finish line, but also getting to be a part of a service that allowed us to raise so much money for JDRF and their diabetes research together as a family of hosiacs!”.
We have a winner!
The Area III FFA territory includes 194 schools and Pearland FFA’s own Hollie Berg received 1st place in the Area Senior Creed Speaking contest, securing her ticket to the State Contest. State contest will be held this Friday and Saturday at Sam Houston State University.
In honor of HOSA Future Health Professionals week...
Our community once again stepped up for Pearland ISD students. EMT students were able to take a closer look at a variety of emergency services. We want to give a big thank you to PHI Air Medical and Pearland Fire Department!

CTE Programs Welcome Industry Representatives and Classroom Speakers
U.S. Secret Service agent, Kim Smith, visited Mrs. Lozano-Gaitan’s law enforcement classes at Pearland High School. The students were able to watch a brief video that demonstrated the intense trainings each agent must pass before hire. Mrs. Smith discussed her experience with the agency, her likes and dislikes, and the biggest challenges she faces. Mrs. Smith has had the pleasure of meeting and been assigned protective detail of each of the living presidents: Jimmy Carter, George H. W. Bush, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and Barack Obama. Discussing the role of an agent inspired lots of questions from our students and possibly helped them get one step closer to deciding on a career path.
