Mission

Our mission is to empower our English Language Learners, especially our Latino students and families at Silver Creek High School by establishing a bridge of communication, trust, and engagement between students and families, school staff (administrators, counselors, teachers) at Silver Creek by developing their leadership skills.

Vision

  1. Support our Silver Creek High School English Language Learner population while targeting Latino students.
  2. Organize and sponsor the English Learner and Latino Community of the school regarding issues related to the educational environment and their academic needs. The Committee will sponsor and coordinate workshops and initiatives to positively influence the educational environment and educational outcomes of target students.
  3. Develop parent agency and leadership to create a word-of-mouth invitation for other parents to join our meetings.
  4. Create a support group for students to provide them with tools for academic awareness and success such as:
    1. --> How to navigate through the US educational system
    2. --> Understanding ESUHSD graduation and A-G requirements

Ms. Loveday

My name is Brooke Loveday. I was born and raised in East San Jose. I attended community college while working, until I was able to transfer to San Jose State. That is where I earned both my bachelor's degree in English and my teaching credential. Dedicated to contributing to my community, I decided to teach English in ESUHSD. I was the first in my family to attend college. To further my ability to support students in need, I returned to school in 2022-2023 to earn a master's degree in Social-Emotional Learning and Development. I am honored and excited to be a part of the Latino Student Cohort.
