He says, “It’s an honor to be a member of the PCC Tournament of Roses Honor Band and to represent Sultana! I’m looking forward to being able to not only march the Rose Parade, but see all the other cool Rose Parade floats for the very first time in person!”. HHS Scorpion sousaphone player Bryan Jimenez applied for his second consecutive year and traveled to Pasadena City College to audition. He was ecstatic to receive the invitation and his first practice will be on 11/2/25. And finally, Oak Bulldog Emma Healy is the first OHHS student in 12 years to be selected.

Don't forget to tune in on New Year's Day starting at 8am on ABC, NBC, Univision, FUBO, SlingTV or Hulu. We are all very proud of you Ben, Bryan and Emma!
Who says shop classes are dead? HUSD schools and staff love to support hands-on learning opportunities! Today's #SchoolSiteHighlight in the Hesperia Junior High CTE Construction Program is a great example. Roadrunners are turning abstract concepts into tangible results! Led by Mr. Evelyn, students are using math to measure and estimate for projects like drama performance set pieces, derby cars, and even spooky decorations for the upcoming Haunted Maze Fest on 10/24/25! Preparing students for high-demand careers with practical, hands-on skills is just another day of awesome for the Roadrunners!
