🌟 Grow Our Own Spotlight: Carlos Rodgers 🌱

👉 Carlos Rodgers, a rising junior at Deep Creek HS, is gaining real-world experience this summer through our Grow Our Own internship program. This paid opportunity allows students to explore career pathways while working alongside Chesapeake Public Schools staff.

💬 “It was a great opportunity to gain experience about what a real job is like and how the day-to-day operations go on.”
💬 “The experience is great. Coming in and meeting the staff of the school, not just as a student but working with them, is fun. It shows you a side that you don't get to see while you're there during the school day.”

Carlos is interning in our Division of Technology Innovation, where his favorite part was learning how the Technology Department prepares Chromebooks for the school year. 💻

He hopes to pursue a career in logistics in the military and says this internship has been an “excellent opportunity” to explore future careers.

Thank you, Carlos, for your dedication and curiosity. We’re proud to support students like you through the Grow Our Own program! 🎉 #CPSCelebrates #EmpowerCPS #InspireCPS

🎓 Senior Spotlight 🎓 💙🐯💛 ALEC EMOND is Oscar Smith High School’s 2025 Salutatorian. He will attend the University of Virginia. ------------------------------------ What is the best class you took in high school and why? The best class I took in highschool was AP art history.

🎓 Senior Spotlight 🎓 💙🐯💛 CINDY ZHENG is Oscar Smith High School’s 2025 Salutatorian. She will attend the University of Virginia to major in psychology with a planned minor in economics. ------------------------------------ Who had the biggest impact on your experience in high school, and what would you like them to know? My grandparents. They immigrated from China with almost nothing. They worked long hours, barely spoke the language, and never asked for anything. Watching them live that way made it impossible for me to slack off in school. I knew what they gave up, and I wasn’t going to waste it. ------------------------------------ What is the best class you took in high school and why? Theory of Knowledge was easily the best class I took. We questioned everything, argued about random topics, and somehow got to watch movies for it. It didn’t feel forced, just genuinely interesting. #Classof2025! 🎓 #CPSCelebrates
