Welcome to TEDxValenciaHighSchool - BELIEVE!
Why “BELIEVE”?
Because WE BELIEVE! We believe in our students, our staff, and our community and have pulled together to bring together some amazing ideas worth spreading.
We were originally licensed to put this event on in March of 2020, however, due to circumstances beyond anyone’s control, we entered into the COVID-19 lockdowns and the idea of doing a theatrical performance at school, let alone even just attending classes, became a far-fetched dream. Our students continued to try to make the event happen, but there was just no way to make it happen…until NOW! We’re back! And thanks to a generous grant from the Placentia Chamber of Commerce to help upgrade our set, TEDxValenciaHighSchool is back and better than ever!
At Valencia High School, we believe learners are individuals who bring a unique set of needs and abilities to the classroom and that they should be encouraged to become responsible for their own learning, especially as they mature.
We believe it is important to recognize and embrace the diversity that arises, as it provides a myriad of opportunities to enhance student learning and growth.
We believe in the worth and value of every student and every human being on our campus. In this way, we believe that our students will inevitably make the world a better place.
The speakers you are going to hear from are Valencia High School students who used the word “BELIEVE” as a thematic jumping-off point for creating a TEDx Talk and really took the theme to heart when crafting their talks and approaching this task. You will hear talks that range from air ambulances to the joy of menstruation, from horoscopes to softball, and the cultural holistic medicinal ideas, crafted by speakers who have worked tirelessly to create an experience for you to BELIEVE!
While we sometimes wondered if this event was ever going to happen, motivated by the theme of the event, we just kept on believing that if we worked together, kept moving forward, and to work individually to create meaningful and educational TEDx Talks that will hopefully enlighten, amuse, and most of all make you think. Welcome to TEDxValencia High School 2022 - BELIEVE!
