$2000.00 donation to the MAP Program

The Escondido East Rotary Club donated $2000.00 to the Escondido Union High School District MAP Program. MAP is a simple acronym to help keep school success as a goal for all students. It emphasizes these important messages:
  • M: Maintain a rigorous course of study (completing A through G UC/CSU admission criteria with a 3.0 GPA)
  • A: Attend school daily (maintaining a minimum of 98% attendance rate over 4 years)
  • P: Participate in school and/or community activities (minimum total of 100 hours)

Beginning with the class of 2011, students who complete all four years of high school on an Escondido Union High School District campus, and achieve certain benchmarks (including those listed above), will be eligible for guaranteed college admission to California State University San Marcos. They will also be eligible to receive tuition assistance.
