Stanislaus Partners In Education

It’s one thing to talk about great programs, it’s another to see them in action! Yesterday was an amazing day touring local industry partners through the Patterson High School Supply Chain & Logistics program and the Ceres High School Manufacturing, Production & Green Technology Academy.
These are two shining examples of high-quality Career Technical Education in our county! Trips like this are so important. It’s not just about students learning from professionals—it's also about professionals learning what’s happening in our schools and meeting the incredible students and educators shaping the future.
A huge thank you to Patterson High and Ceres High for welcoming us and sharing your incredible work!

Thank you DeHart Technical School, VOLT Institute, Stanislaus County, BEAM Circular, Valley Milk, LLC, Blue Diamond Almonds, Stanislaus 2030, Assemblyman Juan Alanis
