So proud of the Pasadena High School students from Mr. Flores’s Ethnic Studies class for their high quality and relevant research projects. Frankly, I think they are prepared for doctoral level work.
Way to go Team PHS!

I had the pleasure of meeting with the John Muir HS students in the Leaders of Change club. What an impressive group! I was impressed by their advocacy for their school. Well done students & way to go Principal Gray and advisors Jacquez Bolton and Tony Santilena!

I certainly enjoyed reading to the students in Ms. Davis’ classroom at Don Benito! It also happened to be “Backyard Day.” Thanks Principal Bugarin and team for all that you do for our students!

I’m excited about the work our amazing principals and staff are doing around continuous improvement! Here there’s engaged in an activity using Fishbone diagrams to conduct root cause analyses. Way to go team PUSD!

I certainly enjoyed spending some time with the members of the Black Student Union Pasadena High School. What an impressive group! Please consider donating money or school supplies to assist them in their efforts to help other students in need.

Shout out to the Blair Boys Basketball Team for winning CIF-SS Division 5A quarterfinals this week! Good luck in semi-finals Saturday! Brian McDonald
