Matthew Thompson, City Arts & Tech
College: Sacramento State University
Matt is City Arts & Tech’s 2018 winner of the Jackie Robinson Scholarship Award.
Matt is the kind of kid that says things in class that make a teacher say, “Matt! I never thought about that before?!”
Not only is Matt an excellent scholar but he is also deeply involved in his community. He has devoted over 500 hours of community service at the Chabot Space and Science Center, served as a counselor for middle school students, and volunteered at an organic farm, all while maintaining a 4.0 GPA for his entire 4 years at CAT. In every senior Portfolio Defense, our students are asked to explain their “philosophy of education.” In his, Matt states that an education should empower people and lead to stronger and more connected communities. He has certainly demonstrated that throughout his time here at CAT. Matt will be attending Sacramento State University in the fall, pursuing a degree in History. We know in addition to studying history, he will certainly make some of his own!
