Thank you to Serrano High School and Vision by Preston for hosting a student video workshop for some of our Digital Graphic Design students from HHS and other High Desert schools on Tuesday.

A group of 10 students from our CTE Criminal Justice pathway at Hesperia High School visited the Victorville Courthouse last week. They were treated with a tour through the entire process from when individuals are cited, arrested, or have court dates for various reasons, etc. all the way through to their time in front of a judge. They got to speak with various professionals in the courthouse including bailiffs, sheriff deputies, courtroom clerks, judges, and lawyers. It was a great trip filled with opportunity for our CTE students to learn about both sworn and non-sworn careers associated with criminal justice and the wide variety of public service careers that are out there.

Today's #SchoolSiteHighlight is at Carmel Elementary. We went to Mr. Reyes and Mr. Schoch Vex Robotics practice and got to see some amazing robots that the students were building. Most of these students are new to robotics or are barely starting their second year in it. Today the students were participating in their last practice before their first scored tournament and with some advice from Mr. Reyes were fine tuning their bots to be ready for the competition. All bots are built 100% by the students with a certain list of tasks they must perform during the competition in mind. Thanks also to several of our high school students from Sultana High for being there to help set up courses for the elementary students. We are so excited to see how Carmel performs in the Vex tournament and will be rooting them on!
