Husky Highlight
  Fairmont Prep Students Learn from Professionals in Silicon Valley
One of the wonderful teaching tools at Fairmont Prep is the collaboration between departments. On Wednesday, January 3 through Friday, January 5, International Business Program (IBP) Department Chair Mr. Massimini and Advanced Science & Engineering Program (ASEP) Director Mrs. Leslie took students from both programs to Silicon Valley to see firsthand what makes the Bay Area a unique place for technology innovation and entrepreneurship.

The students were able to tour, meet, and engage with engineers and executives from Facebook, KLA-Tencor Corporate headquarters, IBM Watson, and Apple. This opportunity is just another impressive way Fairmont Prep is making a difference in education by preparing students to succeed at college and challenge them to become exemplary citizens of a global society.
