Sweetwater High School awarded $5,000 Barona Education Grant

12 Oct 2018

(PRESS RELEASE) -- The Barona Band of Mission Indians has awarded Sweetwater High School in National City a $5,000 Barona Education Grant to purchase a three-in-one Sharp MX M3070 printer/copier for the school library.

Barona Tribal Councilwoman Melissa Donayre presented the $5,000 check, sponsored by California State Assemblywoman Lorena Gonzalez Fletcher, to Principal Maribel Gavin, faculty and students.

"There are students in the school system that lack technology and tools many of us take for granted," said Edwin "Thorpe" Romero, Chairman of the Barona Band of Mission Indians. "The Barona Tribe is proud to award Sweetwater High School with the funds to purchase equipment that will allow the students to complete their assignments and achieve success in school."

The public secondary school, established in 1920, is one of the oldest high schools in San Diego County. The school district supplies the students with laptops to complete at school and at home, however many do not have access to printers and can't submit their essays and reports to their teachers. The grant will now provide students access to the equipment they need right on the school campus.

Since the Barona Education Grant program was launched in 2006, Barona has awarded over $3.4 million to California schools statewide. The program has equipped 689 schools with hundreds of computers, thousands of books, iPads, computer software programs and various other technologies and school supplies. The Barona Education Grant program is the first of its kind in California created and administered by a Tribal Government. The goal of the program is to create strong educational opportunities for the children of California building upon the success of the Barona Indian Charter School, which operates under a continuous improvement model. Schools throughout California can apply for educational grants from Barona to purchase much-needed supplies and materials that promote academic improvement. Each grant awarded by the Barona Education Grant Program is $5,000.
