Congratulations to the Lugo Engineering and Design (LEAD) Academy at Don Lugo High in Chino for being named a California 2017 Golden Bell Awards by the California School Boards Association.
The CSBA Golden Bell Awards promotes excellence in education and school board governance by recognizing outstanding programs and governance practices of school boards in school districts and county offices of education throughout California.
The CSBA received 250 applications for this year’s awards. The LEAD Academy was named a Golden Bell Award finalist in mid-September, and its designation was confirmed in mid-October after a visit by judges to Don Lugo to confirm the program’s eligibility for an award.
The Golden Bell Awards will be presented at a ceremony on Nov. 30 in San Diego.
LEAD Academy’s rigorous four-year, hands-on problem-based curriculum integrates math, science, engineering, and humanities to introduce and prepare students for the many opportunities available in the field of engineering and design.
In the academy, students learn three-dimensional and mechanical design, digital electronics and robotics, resident and commercial building design, project management, teamwork, and more.
Coordinator of the program is teacher Brian Engstrom. Other staff members are: Counselor Darcy Jensen-Ward; Teachers Patrick Woods, OJ Cantos, Tracy Hill, David Robinson, Audrey Rohrer, Bei Collins, and William Crisafi.
LEAD begin as a pilot program at Don Lugo in 2010, attended by 35 freshmen. By its second year, attendance had grown to 85 students. There are currently 154 students enrolled in LEAD.
If the LEAD Academy wins on of the prestigious Golden Bell Awards, it will be the second for Chino Valley Unified School District.
Teachers at Country Springs Elementary in Chino Hills were presented a Golden Bell Award for the 2007/2008 school year for incorporating Howard Gardiner’s Theory of Multiple Intelligences into their instructional practices. According to the theory, each person has seven intelligences that characterize the way they learn. The teachers employed the method that best fit each student’s learning style.
