On August 15, Chuong Dang (Hoover), Hana Kim (Mira Mesa), Christine Villahermosa and Maya Web (Lincoln) presented the results of their summer research projects through The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI) and spoke about their summer experiences at TSRI. The luncheon was a special event that allowed the interns to reflect upon and share the impact the program, which pairs the students with a laboratory/faculty mentor with support of community groups and foundations, has on their career plans and goals. District students were sponsored by San Diego Workforce Partnership/Neighborhood House Association and The San Diego Foundation.

In June 2003, four students from Mark Twain High School, Bethany Weddington, Heather Chester-Francel, Laura Pruett and Martha Damaso, received a scholarship that includes a brand new Dell computer and printer and all expenses (tuition, books, parking and health fees) paid at a San Diego community college of their choice. After successful completion of two years at a community college, they are eligible to transfer to San Diego State University. Another Twain student, Vincent San Nicholas, will receive similar funding if he successfully completes the current year at a community college.
