Impact Update: Jesse Bethel High School

IYT at Jesse Bethel High School

Month in Review: June 2025

This past month, IYT at Jesse Bethel High School hosted a powerful graduation ceremony, honoring our seniors for their resilience as they take the next step towards reaching their education and career goals.

A shining example of this graduating class's dedication is our Brother of the Month, Kumar Polk. Kumar has been an incredible role model by diligently managing his classes and college applications, and his hard work has paid off as he prepares to attend DVC to study Computer Science. His focus and clear vision for the future perfectly embody the promise we celebrated in all our graduates.

Honoring IYT High School Graduates

We are proud to have celebrated the accomplishments of our graduating IYT high school seniors in a powerful and uplifting ceremony. This event recognized their resilience, academic success, and personal growth throughout their high school journey.

With support from IYT programming—including tutoring, college application guidance, mentorship, and wellness check-ins, these young men have overcome challenges in the face of adversity. IYT team members, families, and community partners joined us in celebrating not just a milestone, but the beginning of a new chapter full of promise and purpose. We couldn’t be more proud of their achievements and the futures they are building.

Brother of the Month

Brother Kumar Polk is brother of the month this time around, as he has been a big role model for others in IYT. From staying on top of his college application and classes, he is all set to attend DVC next year. Kumar is motivated to work in the computer science field and is looking forward to learning more about it.
