About the Employer
The Hawking Story The first Hawking STEAM Charter School opened in 2012 in Chula Vista with only 140 students and initially served grades TK-3. The second Hawking STEAM Charter School opened in South San Diego (near San Ysidro) the following school year with 144 students and served grades TK-3. We have since grown to serve more than 1300 students across those two campuses. In August 2019, both schools moved into newly remodeled facilities, with Hawking 1 still serving Chula Vista and Hawking 2 still serving South San Diego/San Ysidro. With those new facilities, we have been able to expand, and we now serve students in grades TK-8 at both schools.
