Addiction Awarded

On May 11th, PSUSD CTE held its first career academy showcase. The event was organized by student leaders from each district high school and held at the Palm Springs Air Museum. Career pathways and academies were invited to share their integrated and special projects for four hours to the community and judges ranging from public safety to culinary arts. During the process and event, CTE students were also asked to contribute based on the professional skills they are learning in their respective programs.

DATA is pleased to announce that their multi-grade integrated project, Addiction: Control What is Controlling You,  geared towards teens dealing with addiction, was awarded 1st Place by judges from across the Coachella Valley community.
