On Tuesday, June 28th, the Classroom of the Future Foundation (CFF) and our 2016 Impact Awardee Health Sciences High & Middle College (HSHMC) were recognized in the San Diego Padres’ pregame ceremony. San Diego Gas & Electric (SDG&E) Chief Energy Delivery Officer and CFF Board member Caroline Winn presented CFF with a generous $10,000 donation to support the organization’s continued efforts to bring greater innovation to education.
The Health Pathways program at HSHMC in City Heights is a four-year, 9-12 grade comprehensive career development model that integrates an on-site healthcare internship and coursework leading to industry certification and preparation for a certification exam.

This exciting opportunity was made possible by the San Diego Padres and SDG&E, as part of their “Going to Bat for San Diego!” partnership. This partnership involves a variety of initiatives and community efforts that will benefit local nonprofit organizations, with a focus on supporting first responders, veterans, STEM education, and health and human services.
Thank you SDG&E and the San Diego Padres for your commitment to innovation in education, and preparing San Diego students to be our future workforce.
