Area Hispanics are crossing ‘bridge’ to success - Indianapolis

There were no programs or clubs at Pike High School to bring Hispanic students together or teach other students about the contributions Hispanics have made to the U.S. and the rest of the world.

“When I moved here . . . I was educating people about my culture,” said Cindy, who was born in Mexico.

That’s now changed at Pike and other area schools as more and more Hispanics move into Indianapolis. According to the U.S. Census, they are the fastest-growing population in Marion County. At Northwest and George Washington high schools, for example, Hispanic students make up 17 and 21 percent, respectively, of the high-school populations.”*
