Beverly Hills High School held its first annual Career Technical Education (CTE) Awards Breakfast on April 17 to recognize students who successfully completed a series of three rigorous courses in their chosen career pathway. The event was led by Dr. Dustin Seeman, Deputy Director of Educational Services, Cindy Dubin, Career Education Coordinator, and Drew Stewart, BHHS Principal and CTE Teacher at BHHS.
The 80 students honored at the event entered career pathways including the Academy of Medical Sciences, Audio Production, Broadcast Journalism (KBEV), Business, Robotics (Engineering), Fashion, Theater Tech, and Culinary Arts. Each pathway is designed to provide students with hands-on, “real-world” experience through an introductory course, an intensive course, and a culminating capstone course.
Industry Pathway teachers shared comments about the Class of 2024 and noted how the CTE Pathway provides students with excellent college opportunities. This includes students accepted into pathway-related programs such as Fashion at Parsons College in New York, Leadership and Public Relations at Claremont McKenna College, and Mechanical Engineering at Cal Polity University. Aerospace at Pomona, USC, Neuroscience at Brandeis, Food Research and Culinary Arts at Drexel, Food Research and Nutrition at Syracuse, Bioinformatics at UCSD, Finance at Wisconsin and IU, Neuroscience and Medicine, Health, and Society at Vanderbilt. Honors Program, and countless programs at Yale, UPenn, Vanderbilt, UC Berkeley, Pomona, UCLA, LMU, and more.
