New Technology High School (NTHS) is the most rigorous high school in the Napa
Valley Unified School District (NVUSD). NTHS has additional graduation
requirements for students to earn a high school diploma, in comparison to the other www.newtechhigh.org
local high schools. In addition to the 220 credits, all students need to complete at
the other high schools, to earn a NVUSD diploma, NTHS requires students to
complete 12 CSU/UC transferable college units, an internship, a digital portfolio, 10
hours of school service hours, and 20 community service hours. New Technology
High School is a school of choice; the students who chose to apply and attend our
school know that the academic rigor that will be expected from them exceeds what
they would be expected to fulfill at one of our other “mainstream” high schools in
the district.

Irlanda Silva Falcon chose to apply to New Technology High School with the
understanding that she would be challenged academically, to her highest potential.
Not only has she risen to this challenge, she has superseded what New
Technology High School would expect from our students. She has completed her
high school community hours ahead of schedule and has been very involved at
school. She has a natural and charismatic leadership personality. This year she
served our school as a dynamic ASB Officer. She has been selected as the ASB
Vice President for 2017-2018. In my mentoring program, she serves as the
Communications and Marketing Director. These are just a few examples that
highlight her leadership skills and qualities.
Irlanda is one of those rare individuals one comes across only a few times in one’s lifetime. Her
resiliency is one of the many qualities that set her apart in my mind. Her personal story is inspiring
and motivating to any person who has the gift of interacting with Irlanda. She has chosen to
empower herself by leading, being kind, and embracing all growth opportunities that come her way.
She graciously accepts and gives love and expresses her gratitude constantly in various ways.

It is without reservation that I give Irlanda my highest recommendation. I hope you consider the
skills and talents Irlanda offers. I believe she is the kind of candidate your scholarship committee
may be looking for.

I am pleased and honored to be able to write this letter on her behalf. Should you need further
information on Irlanda, please do not hesitate to contact me at (707) 259-8557 x 2302.

Sincerely,

Maria Guadalupe Martinez-Ramirez

New Technology High School Counselor
