Puente is a statewide, 4 year college preparatory program, which prepares students to be eligible to apply to and enroll in 4 year universities after high school. Puente is open to ALL students. Puente students work closely with the Puente counselor to prepare and adhere to an academic plan focused on college readiness. Students will participate in a variety of college and career themed workshops, social activities, college visits and cultural field trips. Parent participation in Puente activities and quarterly meetings is important to student success in the program.

Congratulations to Julia Casas being named UC Berkeley's 2019 Puente Statewide Leadership Award recipient in recognition to her steadfast dedication to her academics and to her community. She was chosen among nearly 4,000 other applicants and less than 3% of Puentistas in the state of California receive this prestigious award. She embodies the Puente leadership spirit and demonstrates exemplary academic achievement.

It is with great pleasure and pride that we present Whittier High School's newest recipient of the Puente Project Statewide Academic and Leadership Award, Jaylene Deann Talavera. Out of 163 Puente high school seniors who applied statewide, 29 Puentistas were recognized with this distinction. Congratulations to Jaylene for this outstanding merit.
