Los Banos High School

How to begin to describe Los Banos High School MESA? The only thing that seems to suit it best would be, action packed. Beside from the academic endeavors, our MESA program fosters the growth of engineering minds and the creativity of design. Our success is apparent in our members, since we have 1 qualifying team, composed of Alyssa Zorra, Noemi Diaz, Jessica Alday, and Jocelyne Trejo, for the Windmill Energy Challenge, which placed 2^nd in the preliminary competition and is ready to go to regionals. Furthermore, we have Diego Aguero, Elijah Bueno, Andrea Pineda, Steve Georgiou, and Tony Ramirez who have also advanced to regionals due to the Team Math Quest for categories A & C.  
Currently we are a work in progress, maintaining ourselves busy in preparation for MESA Day Prelims. Our students have given the janitors some work with gliders in the roof, since they have practicing with prototypes. Likewise, creating a commotion inside our adviser’s room thanks to our bridge testing.

Beyond our MESA events and preparations, we are implementing a focus in career goals for those who are ready to graduate as well as the younger generations by doing college enrichment worksheets. The pioneers of MESA in Los Banos, Martha Santoyo, and Diego Aguero, continue to be exemplary role models to others by volunteering to help their peers as well as students in the Junior High. 

Thanks to our members and students’ hard work and dedication, we are being awarded with a field trip to Great America alongside of Los Banos High School Physics class for Physics Day. We all are eager to join  the fun and exciting day just as well as anticipate winning at MESA Day!
