IMPACTT:
Integrating Multiple Perspectives Across the Curriculum
for Today and Tomorrow
(9-12 grade)
IMPACTT
is an integrated high school environmental health science program
under development. IMPACTT participants explore a variety of environmental
health careers, discover how environmental health connects with
all major academic subjects, and learn about environmental issues
of the Southwestern United States, with particular emphasis on
local Native American and Hispanic communities. A unique aspect
of the program is that with four years of participation (9th -
12th grade), students will exceed the SUSD graduation requirements,
meet the Arizona universities admission requirements for math,
English, history and government, and exceed the university admissions
science requirements. The 11th and 12th grade students will be
able to receive community college credits toward an associates
degree or Environmental Technology Certificate for Direct Employment.
Under development in partnership with the Sunnyside Unified School
District (SUSD).
