Dreams on Wheels: Ford Celebrates Student Success at Knowledge Olympiad

For 58 years, the Ford Civic Committee and its Dealers have maintained their unwavering commitment to building, maintaining and supporting public elementary schools across the country, creating ripples of positive change, empowering students to reach their full potential.

Stars shining in the national competition

This year, three exceptional students from Ford schools triumphed in the prestigious "Children's Knowledge Olympiad 2024," a competition organized by Mexico’s Ministry of Public Education (SEP) nationwide to recognize academic excellence among sixth-grade students.

They are:

Pamela Guzmán

From the Ford 166 School in Veracruz. Her passion for science and her dedication to studies led her to stand out in the Olympiad, demonstrating that, with effort and support, dreams can be achieved.

Mariano Ravelo

Since he was a child, Mariano, a student at the Ford 95 School in Durango, has been curious about the world around him. His fascination with technology drove him to constantly learn and improve himself, culminating in his triumph in the competition.

Alejandra Sofía García

For Alejandra, a student at the Ford 200 School in the State of Mexico, reading has been her window to a world of possibilities. Her love of learning led her to obtain excellent results in the Olympiad, leaving the name of her school and her community high.

A well-deserved recognition, an unforgettable experience

The Ford Civic Committee and its Dealers, proud of the achievement of these young talents, awarded them a laptop and a backpack equipped with school supplies, complementing the scholarship granted by the SEP to continue their studies.

But that was not all. The students also had the opportunity to visit Ford's Global Business and Technology Center (GTBC). There, they were enthusiastically welcomed by the Ford family, who showed them how the company works and inspired them to continue pursuing their dreams.

"With their dedication to the studio and their excellent results, they remind us of the more than 14,000 people who work here, that the passion and commitment we put into our work every day are what move mountains and lead us to victory," said Luz Elena del Castillo, president and CEO of Ford de Mexico. Central America, Puerto Rico and the Caribbean. "We are convinced that his triumph in the Olympiad of Knowledge is only the beginning of a series of achievements that will mark his academic and professional future."
