Higley高中 recently welcomed representatives from Arizona State University (ASU) 女工程师学会 (SWE) for an inspiring panel and roundtable discussion aimed at empowering future engineers. 该活动的特色是来自各种工程学科和学术水平的六名亚利桑那州立大学学生小组成员，每个人都分享了他们通过大学，实习，研究机会和校园参与的独特旅程。

这种形式是有意的非正式和对话，允许希格利学生参与有意义的问答环节。 其目标是创造一个空间，让学生可以就大学生活、职业道路和追求工程的现实提出坦率的问题。

Zoe Amtsfield, K-12 Outreach Director for ASU’s SWE Chapter, emphasized the importance of connection and mentorship.

“Above all, if they can get one of their questions answered, that’s my goal,” she said. “I know when I was in high school, I had a lot of questions, and I still do, just about the future and what it might look like. College is very much an unknown variable, especially when you’re in high school. I’m hoping this serves as a mentor experience in more ways than just academically.”

The event also highlighted the impact of Higley高中’s own 职业与技术教育 (CTE) Engineering program, which helps students explore STEM fields and build foundational skills. Abbie Tremp, a 2023 HHS graduate and current ASU Mechanical Engineering student, reflected on her experience: “I was in the Engineering program and Robotics at Higley高中. I think the Robotics program really helped me understand what engineering was.”

With robust CTE项目 across 希格利联合学区, students are empowered to discover their passions, build essential skills, and prepare for Limitless Opportunities in college, careers, and beyond.
