Magkaisa 2024

We are thrilled to extend an invitation to you to participate in our annual Filipino-American Magkaisa High School Conference to be held October 19, 2024, at Sweetwater High School.  It is our hope our conference will empower Filipino-American youth and our community to explore diverse career opportunities, learn about the Filipino-American experience, and celebrate the contributions of Filipino-Americans to society.
