Title: Downtown College Preparatory Charter High School
Body: From: "Anselmo Villanueva"
Downtown College Preparatory
355 West San Fernando
San Jose, CA 95110
Tel (408) 271-1730
Fax (408) 271-1734
http://www.downtowncollegeprep.org
Jennifer Andaluz, Executive Director
The overall educational attainment of Latinos in California is among the lowest of all ethnic groups. This problem becomes more acute when we consider the relationship between current Latino performance trends--test scores and graduation rates--and California's growing Latino population.
Downtown College Preparatory (DCP) tackles the achievement gap by creating a small school focused explicitly on college success. The school is driven by student achievement data and fueled by a shared expectation that Latino students can achieve academically. DCP researches and implements the best practices of schools with the most impact on urban minority student success.
Downtown College Preparatory is the first charter high school in Silicon Valley, and the only school that explicitly prepares underachieving students for college success. DCP targets low-achieving urban minority students who will be the first in their family to go to college.
DCP is a small (400 students), academic school characterized by high
standards, a rigorous curriculum, a strict code of conduct, and a
commitment to college success for all students. As a charter school, DCP has the independence to break away from the large, comprehensive urban school model to implement a rigorous college-prep program unlike any currently available to the students of downtown San Jose.
DCP reflects the spirit of innovation and competition that drives Silicon Valley. DCP is positioned to be a model for excellence in public education, affecting not only San Jose students but high schools throughout Silicon Valley and California.
DCP will graduate its first class of students in 2004.

Title: YOUNG LATINA/O MEMOIR ANTHOLOGY
Body: From: "Anselmo Villanueva"
Now seeking ambassadors of the heart, voyagers of the soul.
Destination: a collection of memoir essays written by high school and
college-aged Latinos and Latinas. Join us on a voyage to gather original, unpublished works that reflect actual life experiences of the authors. These accounts will offer insights and reflections to an audience of other young adults. We are seeking essays rich with resonant, physical detail and firmly rooted in a sense of both place and time. Use your words to illustrate an important life story and become part of the new generation of Latino voices in America. We are looking for writers who can talk in tongues -- speaking the languages of experience, dreams, disappointments, successes -- to be published in a ground-breaking anthology telling how it is today in the post-Chicano Movement era.
For further clarification of the term "memoir," please peruse Judith
Barrington's excellent book, Writing the Memoir (Eighth Mountain Press, ISBN 0-933377-50-9).
