The chapter invites you to an exciting mentoring program for the 2024-25 school year. The members of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc., San Diego Alumnae Chapter, are opening our arms and hearts to welcome young ladies who are interested in joining the Dr. Jeanne L. Noble Delta G.E.M.S. (Growing and Empowering Myself Successfully) Institute.
An exciting year has been planned for you. The Delta G.E.M.S. program is designed to catch the dreams of African American females between the ages (14-18) and in grades (9-12). Delta GEMS provides the framework to actualize those dreams by performing specific tasks that develop a CAN DO attitude. The goals for Delta GEMS are:
To instill the need to excel academically;
To provide tools that enable girls to sharpen and enhance their skills to achieve high levels of academic success;
To assist girls in proper goal setting and planning for their futures in high school and beyond, and
To create compassionate, caring, and community-minded young women by actively involving them in service learning and community service opportunities.
The Delta GEMS program offers a road map for college and career planning through activities that provide opportunities for self-reflection and individual growth. Delta GEMS participants have the chance to define and “Discover their individual Brilliance.”
The application deadline is September 20, 2024, 5 p.m. Please complete the online application using this student application link and the parental/guardian forms using this link to keahagan68@att.net. If you have questions or concerns, please get in touch with Kea Hagan, Chair (619) 994-6421.

SHOUT OUTS
A new Communication banner was added to our field for some students to use during PE. There are many ways that we all communicate, and some students at Hoover use pictures, either on a tablet or paper, in order to talk to their teachers and each other. This new banner provides more opportunity to communicate, even if a student doesn't have their tablet with them. All students deserve meaningful interactions. We celebrate new opportunities like this so that every Hoover Cardinal can thrive as collaborative communicators!
On Friday the Hoover Girls Flag Football team and Varsity Boys Football team celebrated their annual Staff Appreciation game. Shout-out to all of our student athletes! And thank you to all the staff who attended the game!
