The Border Education Project was the brainchild of three educators who work at Mar Vista High School in Imperial Beach California, the most southwesterly high school in the continental U.S. A large percentage of the student population at Mar Vista either live or have family in Mexico and endure a long, arduous daily wait at the border to attend the school. The daily interaction with students from both sides of the U.S.-Mexico border has given these three educators a unique insight into the educational needs of students living on the U.S.-Mexico border-the longest border in the world between a First World and a Third World country. They formed the Border Education Project in June of 2014 to improve education on both sides of this challenging border.
