About the Growing Hope Project
Growing Hope started as a dream to create an educational platform that was engaging and allowed students to explore and learn in a tangible and interconnected way with accessibility to all in a career pathway or Career Technical Education. Brit Steele and Sherryl Anderson with Night Owl Bay approached the San Bernardino City Unified School District, San Andreas High School, and Technical Employment Training with an idea to do a never been done before Career Pathway at an Alternative High School with at least 50% participation of Special Needs learning alongside the General Student Population. After committing to the idea, the collaboration was called the Growing Hope Project which grew 5 years later has grown into a new AgTech Facility where students learn about Hydroponic Farming using Technology; running a student enterprise that engages with the community, local restaurants, and soon, farmers markets and leverages the pathway to engage District-Wide to Kindergarten—Middle School classrooms with their Farm to School Program.

Sample of growing System Videos
To help explain the different growing systems, we created quick informational videos to be looped on iPads near each of the systems.
Finding the right partnerships is a key part of what this program is about. We are thankful for the involvement of Community Design Works in assisting with the Site Planning for the Growing Hope Project.
