Dropout Prevention Specialist: Introduction

Hello,  my name is Eduardo Chavez I am the Dropout Prevention Specialist here at Estrella. I was born and raised in the Tolleson, Arizona area and love my community.  I am currently pursuing a BA in communications and spend my free time enjoying what our community has to offer with family and friends.

​My role here is to help advocate for the students to ensure they are receiving all the support they can get and to help educate them on owning their academics.  When a student is struggling, I am the point person in identifying their individual support needs.  In addition, I work with students to help them understand different options available to them in achieving their goals.  I direct students in finding academic support, behavioral support, information regarding GED vs diploma and provide ongoing mentoring for our students.
