In De Silva’s and Perez’ case they don’t have to look far for results of the program. Elizabeth Garcia, the current Santa Paula High school principal, attended the conference when she was a high school sophomore. Students interested in the program submit an application then participate in an interview then are selected by a committee. The program at Santa Paula High School is headed up by Karen Giroux, a counselor for the past 24 years at the school.
