Jerry Taylor oral history transcript

Title

Jerry Taylor oral history transcript

Description

A transcript of an oral history of Jerry Taylor, Counseling Department Chair at Century High School, on Hispanics in the Hillsboro schools. There are two scholarships available to minority students; the Nicky Squire and Gordon Vapor scholarships. Mr. Taylor explains he would like a way to honor ESL students who transition quickly to the regular curriculum. Mr. Keller helps Hispanic students research career paths, with the help of the ELL teacher and the ECOS computer program. There are many opportunities at PCC (Portland Community College) also. He feels the school district was not sensitive to Hispanics when they moved students from the Main St. area to Liberty High School where there is no mass transit system. Maria Hernandez in the counseling department helps incoming Hispanic students with available programs and curriculum. Some Hispanic students are only interested in learning English – not in getting a diploma.
