In celebration of CTE Month, we will continue to highlight one of our secondary schools’ CTE pathway offerings each week. TUSD is proud to offer hands-on, career-ready pathways that allow all students to explore careers while in high school. CTE pathways include working on industry-standard equipment and software, hands-on real-world skill development, industry certifications, early college credit, and internship opportunities. This is a great way for all students to explore and be informed as they plan for their future.

At Beckman High School students can complete pathways in Applied Medical, Computer Science, Media Arts, Graphic Design, Visual Imagery, and Engineering. More information is available on Beckman’s CTE pathways on our website. And, for information on all of our CTE pathway programs, please visit the TUSD CTE webpage.

On Saturday, March 11, the Tustin Host Lions, Santa Ana Host Lions and OC Central Lions will come together to sponsor a free vision screening and recycled glasses event for the community. Open to all ages at Century High School from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m., the event will give attendees the chance to have a vision screening to assess for ocular health concerns and provide a useable pair of recycled eyeglasses. Additional details are available through the Vision Screening flyer or by calling 714.805.9136.

Foothill students in Chef Mosley's Culinary Arts CTE Pathway connected with Mlle. Stein's French class to bring a taste of French culture to the kitchen. After engaging in conversation on popular French desserts, students had the opportunity to roll up their sleeves and try their hand at beignets. The results were délicieux as students enjoyed a hands-on experience of French cuisine. C'est manifique!

TUSD students engaged in a friendly competition at the middle school basketball festival, sponsored by the Tustin Public Schools Foundation. Columbus Tustin, Hewes, Orchard Hills, Legacy Magnet Academy, Pioneer, Sycamore Magnet Academy, and Utt had boys and girls teams competing in the one-day event, a culmination of the after-school basketball season. A huge thank you to the coaches, athletic directors, administrators, and parents that made this event possible. Through generous community support of their Save Our Sports initiative, TPSF offers organized intramural sports at all seven TUSD middle schools. We look forward to the next TPSF-sponsored after-school sport, volleyball!
