For decades, statistics have shown that Latino students tend to fall behind in U.S. educational endeavors compared to their white and Asian counterparts. Different factors lead to this: lack of parent involvement, motivation, and socioeconomic barriers. Despite these circumstances that several Latino students face, recent years have showcased a rise in high school graduation rates and postsecondary education enrollment for the group.

Magnet senior Ana Barahona sells a cookie to a hungry student as a way to earn money. However, she plans to use the money in a unique way to help others instead of spending it herself. “In the spring, I’m going to a special needs school in Honduras, and I’m using the money to pay for shipping for clothes and school supplies. I needed a way to get money instead of just asking people, so I decided to have a Christmas bake sale,” Barahona said. Students can find her in the Magnet Lounge selling Christmas tree rice krispies, hot chocolate cookies, and white chocolate popcorn for $1.50.

Magnet senior Ana Barahona started the Global Education Outreach club (GEO) in an effort to help children in developing countries. As her first project, she set out to collect gently used clothing to bring to Honduras. Barahona hopes to make a difference in their communities. “I feel a deep connection to GEO because it started from a personal project of mine. I decided about two months ago that I want to celebrate my 18th birthday in a different way after I saw a family friend do so. I wanted to give back,” Barahona said.
