Speaking Of Success Miguel is an outstanding student because he is a pleasure for a teacher to work with, stated staff member Louis Compaginis. He is easy to relate to and has been a leader for his friends and fellow students. Miguel was enrolled in all bilingual classes this year. By his senior year, Miguel will be in mainstream classes and will pass the proficiency test, as everyone else who wants a diploma has to. Mr. Carlos Vega taught two of Miguel's bilingual classes. Bilingual Ed. is a program that most of the school wasn't aware of. It has been misunderstood for a long time. Mr. Campaginis and Mr. Vega guided a lot of new students through school, while the poor kids had to learn Eng- lish cold turkey. Miguel moved to Castroville from Michocan, Mexico. From his village school, he went to the regional Es- cuela Secondaria. After one year there, his family moved to California, echoing the heritage of many Califor- nians. At fifteen this year, Miguel had plans to be an accountant after gradu- ation. Was he nervous about the profi- ciencies? With a grin he shook his head-obviously not. Sports were not of importance to Miguel, studying was a higher priority, as was his job at the Castroville Community Center. The Bilingual and ESL programs were designed to help students like Miguel achieve, and he has achieved a lot in a short time.
