MECHA is a club that helps spread the knowledge of Hispanic culture. MECHA is not only for Chicano students but also for other students that would like to explore a new culture. The club performs many acts of community service, from multi-cultural events to simple money fundraisers. Their main goal is to demonstrate to other people and mainly themselves the beauty in their culture and their traditions. Students who participate in MECHA consider themselves a family.

Opinions:

Alejandra Herrera: "Not only are we a club, we are also a family gathered to help our community."

Jereniss Alcantar: "I think MECHA is a club that helps spread the knowledge of Mexican origin, and that is something we all need to learn."

Celina Cervantes: "MECHA helps us maintain our traditions and is a great way to explore and maintain our culture close to our hearts."

MECHA is one of many clubs that Granite Hills High School has to offer. MECHA stands for, Movimento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlan, or chicanno student movement of Aztlan. MECHA teaches its members tradition,, political and cultural education. MECHA also hosts many community events, in hopes to establish cultural education within their city and school. As described by one MECHA member,” MECHA is a close nit family that teaches culture and Latin American heritage”. Meetings are held every wednesday within the career center.

Update:

MECHA is having their payments in before they plan their next trip from all the money they raised from all the fundraising. If you are part of MECHA make sure everything is in by the last week of April and get ready for the month of May.

Hello MEChA at GHHS!!!

This is Micaela Lara, one of the founding members for MeChA at GHHS. I am proud to see that this student organization has been growing strong since it’s founding in 2006. I’m currently living in New York City and plan to visit Porterville this April 2012. I would love to attend one of your meetings during that time! Keep me posted!
