๐ŸŽฎ๐Ÿ’ป IDEA Public Schools is excited to recognize three outstanding educators helping students turn curiosity into real computer science skills: Alejandro Mora, Cesar Reyna, and Mr. James De La Peรฑa.

Through the Programming and Software Development pathway, these teachers guide students as they learn to code, design games, solve complex problems, and explore future careers in technology. Their classrooms are places where students build confidence, take creative risks, and discover how computer science connects to the real world.

With more than 40 IDEA schools offering computer science courses and 350 graduating students completing the Programming and Software Development pathway during the 2025-2026 school year, we are proud to celebrate the teachers helping make this impact possible.

Thank you for preparing students to become tomorrowโ€™s programmers, designers, problem-solvers, and technology leaders! ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’›

Shout out to Donna Middle School for delivering an outstanding lesson on how to tie a Windsor Knot! This practical skill is a valuable addition to students' professional readiness toolkit and will serve them well in future interviews, presentations, and career opportunities that require professional attire. It was great to see students learning a real-world skill that builds confidence, professionalism, and workplace readiness. What a great way to end the school year strong and prepare students for future success!
