Seven CTE Culinary students from both OHHS and SHS took a trip to Sysco in Riverside to attend the Autumn Harvest event. Students took a tour of the Sysco facility and learned all about the process of food ordering, fulfillment, storage, safety, and the logistics of transportation. The students were even able to step into a freezer that's kept at 20 degrees below zero. The students were able to sample a wide variety of different food and drink items that are offered through Sysco. Everyone left inspired and full.

A group of students from our CTE Criminal Justice pathways at Sultana and Hesperia high schools had the opportunity to participate in the Law and Public Safety Conference hosted at the Dorothy Inghram Learning Center in San Bernardino. Students spent the time learning about different job opportunities in the field of law enforcement. Students rotated through three different department areas and had the chance to get some hands-on experience dusting for fingerprints and comparing pictures of bullets for a match. This was a great experience for our students to meet law enforcement officers and ask questions that could influence their futures.
