Superintendent of Schools Roger C. Cuevas will speak to
technology students on Friday, June 29 at 2:30 p.m. at New
Horizons Computer Learning Center of Miami, 7757 W. Flagler
Street, Suite 200.
Sixteen Miami-Dade County Public Schools students each
received scholarships valued at $3,995 to pursue a two-week
course of study that will prepare them for the A+
Certification exam for computer service technicians.
"We are excited to have formed a private-public partnership
with New Horizons to encourage students from disadvantaged
areas to pursue careers in the technology area," said
Cuevas. "This fits perfectly with the goals of our district
to prepare our graduates for careers in the arena of
technology."
