In June 2023, Nailah T. Donatto, Liberty High School’s 2023 Salutatorian was accepted to the Stanford Summer Engineering Academy (SSEA), which has been serving as a launchpad for hundreds of engineers since 1998.

Highlights of the SSEA four-week dynamic and immersive summer experience include: exposure to engineering fields from Stanford engineering faculty; gaining a strong curricular foundation in computer science and math; earning two units of credit; early introduction to the myriad resources (advising, student groups, offices & centers); and making lifelong friends and priceless memories.

Nailah completed the SSEA program on September 1st and will officially begin her first of 3 quarters as a freshman at Stanford University this fall on September 26th.
