September Superintendent Update
September marked the first full month of instruction, and we have much to celebrate. Our students excelled academically, athletically, and through active community engagement.
One of our most significant achievements was the successful hosting of our annual College and Career Fair on September 14. It was a joy to see middle and high school families actively engaging with educators, staff, and college representatives, paving the way for their future success.
Our students shined at several events outside the District, including Workman High School's band ', The Red and Black Regiment,' which made an exciting appearance at the USC football game halftime show on September 7. La Puente High School's Cheer and Dance teams showcased their talents for the tenth time at the Sparks basketball game on September 8 at the Crypto Arena in front of more than 10,000 audience members.
We are proud of our schools for spotlighting Suicide Prevention Month with various classroom and school site initiatives. The unity and empowerment from the first Parent University and Youth Conference of the school year on September 21 was truly inspiring. It brought our community together, equipping parents and students with tools to create a brighter future.
I extend my deepest gratitude to the Board of Education, Facilities, and Business Departments for their tremendous efforts in advancing our facilities projects. Thank you to our community and bond voters for supporting our mission to ensure every student has access to top-tier facilities and learning opportunities. Be sure to explore the 2024-25 Facilities Brochure to learn more about our project highlights.
We are eagerly looking forward to the fall season and all the exciting festivities it brings. These include several holidays, like National Custodian Day and School Lunch Week, various visual and performing arts showcases, and of course, Halloween.
