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.

For today's #SchoolSiteHighlight we are going to Hollyvale. At Hollyvale Innovation Academy, every student and staff member belongs to one of four groups called Nests. These Nests are like teams where everyone participates and feels connected. Nests provide a sense of belonging, foster friendships, and promote positive school culture. They encourage students to develop character traits like resilience, innovation, support, and equity. Students earn points for their Nest by demonstrating positive behaviors and academic success. The Nest with the most points each week is recognized and celebrated. Nests meet regularly for activities, learning, and building community. Nests create a strong sense of belonging and support. Students develop positive character traits through the reward system. Healthy competition encourages teamwork and effort.
