HHS students win Congressional App Challenge for district
East Oregonian
HERMISTON — Four
Hermiston High School
students recently won the
2021 Congressional App
Challenge for Oregon’s
District 2.
The offi ce of Rep. Cliff
Bentz, R-Ontario, notifi ed
students Rami Hozi, Cord-
ell Patrick, Blake Wick-
ers and Zeferino Araiza of
their award. The Hermis-
ton students are studying
computer science.
The students created
the Emergency App, which
allows anyone, at any
time, to access emergency
services such as phone
numbers, location, contacts
and a map.
The premise stemmed
from an idea to give people
an easy and convenient way
to access some of the most
popular safety and emer-
gency services all in one
app. Using the app, a person
can dial any number from
the provided list of emer-
gency numbers. The user
can get an exact location
with a button click, showing
data such as latitude, longi-
tude and address, regard-
less of location. Also, it is
possible, through the app,
to connect with emer-
gency contacts and access
a map that includes nearby
emergency locations.
“The Emergency App
has been in the works for
a long time,” said Robert
Theriault, HHS computer
science teacher. “The
students thought of the app
last year and have been
planning the best way to
implement the app. It was

decided early on that they
wanted it on both Android
and iOS so a majority of
mobile users could utilize
the app. However, this
meant that they needed
to learn two interfaces to
get both systems working.
It was one of the largest
endeavors I have seen in the
last six years at Hermiston
High School.”
The students are invited
to attend the House of Code
next spring.
The Congressional App
Challenge mission is to
inspire, include and inno-
vate eff orts around STEM,
coding and computer
science education.
On behalf of the Rosario Family, we wish
to thank our friends, family, and the
St. Mary’s Catholic Community for their
amazing support and generosity.
We are deeply touched by your love
and kindness. Best wishes to you and your
loved ones, for a happy and
healthy Holiday Season!
