The 2022-2023 Bloomington High School Bruins are the San Andreas League Champions.

By Manny Sandoval

he Bloomington High School baseball team made history this season as they emerged as the San Andreas League Champions, making it to the CIF and State semifinals, a feat the school has yet to accomplish in the past 40 years.

Under the guidance of Varsity Head Coach Carlos Contreras, now in his sixth season, the team's 2022-2023 season was nothing short of exemplary. Comprising twenty players, they broke records and redefined the culture and spirit of baseball in the community.

"This season, we played six games through the CIF and State Tournament. We are proud of our boys for their grit, determination, and team spirit," said Contreras.

The Bloomington Bruins' journey ended in the CIF semi-finals against Castaic High School on May 16th with a final score of 6 to 1, and they lost to Ganesha High School (Pomona) in the state semifinals on June 1st.

"The support from our coaching staff, grounds crew, parents, and community have been instrumental in our success," Contreras added. "When the field looks good, and players feel good, they perform

better. This is our first year with immense parental involvement, and they've been vital in facilitating uniforms and other logistics. Most importantly, our boys believed in themselves and worked relentlessly towards their goal."

The team's impressive season saw them rack up 26 wins against just five losses, a record Contreras believes can be improved next season. With 16 players returning and the entire pitching staff, the team has a robust foundation for another successful season. Their overall run average of 2.21 and a defensive percentage of .945 kept Baseball cont. on next pg.

struggles and triumphs that continue to bring hope today.

The Celebration of Freedom Committee, founded

by Edwin Johnson, the Committee President, and co-founded by Lue Dowdy, Operations Director, aims to raise awareness about the Juneteenth holiday. The event began with a libation ceremony led

by Reverend Bronica Martindale and a song selection by Marla Matime. Performers included Yaddida Page, Amore the Songstress, The Bromatics, D.D.C., and more.

The celebration also recognized fathers within the community who have demonstrated excellence, leadership, and integrity in an awards ceremony. Natasha McPherson, UCR History Professor, facilitated an educational seminar, with Ms. Tanya Humphrey, Chair of the Black Women's Leadership Forum, and keynote speaker Dina Walker, founder of BLU Educational Foundation.

DJ Muda hosted the event with co-host Jae Chanel.

The event was sponsored by a wide range of organizations, including Health Net, Inland Congregations United for Change (ICUC), First 5 San

Bernardino, Inland Empire Health Plan (IEHP), San Bernardino Valley College, Chase Bank, The City of San Bernardino, Empire Talks Back, The Competitive Edge, YouthBuild Inland Empire, Westside Story Newspaper, and Lue Productions Community Umbrella Services.

The San Bernardino Juneteenth Committee is a community effort consisting of organizations like CHORDS, Sista's Making a Difference, Young Visionaries, Lue Productions, San Bernardino Valley College, Inland Congregations United for Change, Southern California Black Chamber of Commerce -Inland Cities East Chapter, First 5 San Bernardino, Off The Chain Alliance, San Bernardino Pacesetters, 123 Mobile Training, San Bernardino (CA) Alumni Chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity Incorporated, The Conquerors Insurance Advocates for Families, SoCal Trash Army, Bryce Hudson, The MAR.M Agency, DGK, Empowering Girls Network, Dream Nycce, and Jae Chanel Productions.

The Celebration of Freedom offered an educational experience for all attendees, regardless of race, age, and ethnic and cultural differences, reinforcing the spirit of unity and understanding inherent in the Juneteenth celebration.

them in every game they played.

The community rallied around the team. Mike Ashman, a Bloomington High School Alumni who played on the CIF team in 1975 and is now a coach for the Los Angeles Angels, offered his support before each game. "The community must support because it keeps everyone together and provides opportunities for interaction," Contreras emphasized.

Andrew "TJ" Tejada, a senior and the team's star pitcher, reflected on the season's highs and lows. "The most impactful memory was our game against Rim of the World at San Manuel Stadium for County Clash," he recalled. "At one point, we were down 7-2, but we didn't let it get to us. We battled to the end; the final score was 7-8. That's a testament to our spirit and resilience. We're all looking forward to the next season and hope to go beyond the semi-finals and win it all."

The team's achievements were also reflected in the numerous awards they received. With a 30scoreless inning streak, Tejada was named league MVP and selected as All Inland Empire.

David Barajas, a senior first baseman, was chosen as the League MVP for the San Andreas League. A junior and right

fielder, Dylan Buzard made All League, All CIF, and was All Inland Empire.

Seven team members made All-League, All-CIF, All-Inland Empire, and the California Baseball Coaches Association Southern California Second Team.

Assistant Coach Alexander Estrada praised the team's cohesive spirit, "This team played for each other. They all understood their roles, and everyone contributed. It was their combined efforts that brought us this success."

Contreras received the Coach of the Year award in recognition of the team's achievements.

Looking forward to the next season, Contreras added, "Our 2023-2024 baseball season will start in August. We'll start doing pre-tryout workouts, and the official tryouts will be held in September, which will coincide with the start of fall ball."

Historically, this victory holds significant importance for Bloomington High School, where sports have always been a focal point for student engagement. This achievement refers to the glory days of the mid-'70s when the school's sports teams were dominant, instilling renewed pride and energy into the school and the wider Bloomington community.

Calif or nia Needs to Invest in Statewide Infrastr ucture to Meet Water Supply Needs of its Residents

By Inland Empire Water Partnership

fter a multi-year drought, record winter storms have brought California back from the brink of catastrophic drought conditions but uncertainty still remains – how long will this new water need to last us? Just until next winter? Two years? Three years?

Most of the state is now considered to be out of drought, as our reservoirs are full to the brim and we begin replenishing our groundwater basins. This is exactly what we needed this winter season, and it will be essential in supporting our communities, farms, and businesses throughout the year. However, we cannot count on record-setting wet years as the state's longterm water supply management plan, especially as the Colorado River supplies, which are essential to Western States and Southern California, remain uncertain.

California will continue to experience longer, hotter, and drier weather conditions, punctuated by intense, fast-moving storms that overwhelm the state's existing water systems. Boom or bust weather extremes – such as rainstorm flooding and long droughts – create unpredictable scenarios for the State's water systems that can no longer count on a steady pace of water replenishment throughout each winter. For the last 40 years, average temperatures have steadily increased and will continue to do so, causing a multitude of issues for our water supply, including shorter bursts of intense rainfall, earlier snowpack melt, an increased need to take from groundwater reserves, and more.

It will become all the more important in the coming years to couple individual water efficiency efforts with regional and statewide infrastructure investments to make the Inland Empire more resilient in the face of future droughts.

Water efficiency is a way of life for Southern California throughout all weather and all seasons. Our region has proven it can collectively work together and rise to the occasion to stretch supplies and ensure water for future generations. We want to acknowledge and send our appreciation to our local water super-savers who

I

have worked diligently to help us meet our goals, preserve our water supply for current and future generations, and successfully get through the drought. As local water providers, we are calling on residents to keep up the water efficiency efforts that are now a symbol of Southern California culture. The Inland Empire took initiative during the drought and, while the urgency isn’t as dire today, we need to continue to embrace a water-efficient lifestyle year-round. Implementing a water-efficient lifestyle when it rains helps prolong our water supply when it is dry. Water use efficiency, especially outdoors where 60% of water use occurs, is crucial to extending water supplies captured during wet years.

We also need to make investments to ensure our regional and statewide infrastructure are able to meet the future water supply needs of the region. In an effort to capitalize on these intense weather conditions, Inland Empire water agencies are collaboratively investing in significant infrastructure projects and initiatives to capture precious water when it’s available and we are urging our state counterparts to do the same.

We continually work to advance large-scale stormwater, recycling, and water quality programs to further our water supply goals. For example, Eastern Municipal Water District (EMWD) completed work on its Mountain Avenue West Groundwater Replenishment Facility, which will serve as the home for EMWD’s Water Banking program as part of its Groundwater Reliability Plus initiative.

In addition, Western Water is advancing water supply reliability through a series of efforts, including preparing to purchase excess water available this year and storing it in its local groundwater basins for future dry years. Western Water is also taking action through investments in innovative infrastructure projects, including groundwater wells, treatment and conveyance facilities.

Similarly, the Inland Empire Utilities Agency is growing its recycled water supply with multiple projects and partnerships including the expansion of its Re-

gional Water Recycling Plant No. 5 and the development of the innovative Chino Basin Program (CBP), a water banking program that will address challenges caused by climate change. As a part of this effort to increase local supply reliability, through the CBP, IEUA and its partners will design, construct, and operate an Advanced Water Purification Facility, groundwater injection facilities, pump stations, new wells, and connection lines.

The Inland Empire Water Partnership is united in our commitment to maintain and build reliable, high-quality water supplies that are more resilient against an uncertain water future.

Our partnership has come together as the regional voice of the Inland Empire to raise awareness about the conditions impacting your water supply, advance solutions, deliver high-quality, clean and safe water supplies, and promote water efficiency as a way of life.

As we continue highlighting the need for water solutions, advance statewide infrastructure improvements and water quality programs, we rely on and thank our customers for embracing efficiency to ensure a collective approach is taken to resolve these larger-than-life issues.

Joe Mouawad, General Manager of Eastern Municipal Water District; Shivaji Deshmukh, General Manager of Inland Empire Utilities Agency; Heather Dyer, General Manager of San Bernardino Valley Municipal Water District; and Craig Miller, General Manager of Western Water, unite as the regional voice of water issues in the Inland Empire through their partnership, The Inland Empire Water Partnership.

The Inland Empire Water Partnership consists of four unified water districts – Eastern Municipal Water District, Inland Empire Utilities Agency, San Bernardino Valley Municipal Water District, and Western Water – representing the water resources of 3.4 million Southern Californians.

4th District Cour t of Appeal Rules Measur e K Valid

n a May 25th ruling, the 4th District Court of Appeal (4DCA) ruled San Bernardino County Measure K valid in every major aspect.

Measure K, an effort to reform both compensation and term limits for San Bernardino County elected supervisors, was overwhelmingly approved by county voters in November of 2020. The measure proposed a single fouryear term, along with setting elected supervisors’ compensation on par with the county’s median household income.

The San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors ignored this clear message from voters. Rather than aggressively implementing the voters’ will, the board circled the wagons and sued the county’s Clerk of the Board in order to halt implementation of Measure K and ward off the voters’ intent.

While San Bernardino County Superior Court Judge Ronald Alvarez agreed with the Board of Supervisors, the 4DCA was having none of it. Justice P.J. Ramirez’s opinion: • Upheld the voters’ right to establish a single, four-year term • Upheld the voters’ right to establish compensation limits for elected supervisors via initiative • Ruled Measure K was valid as of December 18th, 2020

• Orders the lower court to ensure certification and filing of Measure K

The appeal court also ruled that AB 428, a bill designed and sponsored by Assemblyman Chad Mayes to torpedo Measure K via state law, does not apply to charter counties. AB428 altered state law to ensure voters could set no less than two, four-year term limits for county supervisors. Despite being approved by Governor Gavin Newsom, Justice Ramirez’s ruling limits AB428 to general counties only. San Bernardino County is a charter county and is therefore exempt from AB428.

In a statement released Monday The Red Brennan Group, a local non-profit dedicated to “Big-Hearted Communities and Small Government” said “It has been our privilege to support Measure K’s sponsor Nadia Renner. While this ruling solidifies San Bernardino County voters’ right to initiative, the status of real political reform in the county remains clouded because of Measure D. This measure was placed on the 2022 ballot by the five sitting supervisors and was specifically designed to target Measure K. Every aspect of the county supervisors’ initiative was designed to trick county voters. Presented to voters as tax reform,

Measure D instead guaranteed continually increasing compensation for county supervisors, reset the baseline for the current supervisors allowing them to serve an additional 12 years if reelected, and overturned the voterapproved Measure K. The supervisors partnered with

local developers, public unions, and a variety of other special interest groups to spend over $1.2 million to pass Measure D. Despite being labeled as “The most despicable, deceptive campaign we’ve seen in a long time,” by the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association, the immense amount of money invested by the county political elite successfully carried the deception and Measure D was approved by the voters.”

The Red Brennan Group spokesmen went on to say “Our organization has challenged Measure D on the basis that it was intended to mislead county voters.

While the trial court ruled against us, we trust the Appeal Court will be as equally clear-eyed when considering Measure D as they were with Measure K. The California Constitution states

‘All political power is inherent in the people. Government is instituted for their protection, security, and benefit, and they have the right to alter or reform it when the public good may require.’

For far too long the county ruling class has misused and abused both the legal and political process to stymie real reform of government. County voters must hold local government accountable and ensure the political class acquiesces to voter-approved reform.”

Community News

olfers participated in the 41st Redlands Community Hospital Foundation’s Golf Classic for the Ken Corwin Cup this month raising $200,000 for the Redlands Community Hospital Center for Cancer Care. The tournament was held at the Redlands Country Club with 140 golfers participating.

The annual tournament has evolved into Redlands Community Hospital (RCH) Foundation’s largest and most visible fundraising event. The event raised vital funds through sponsorships, a live auction, raffles, and participant fees. The tournament was managed by 60 volunteers from the Redlands Community Hospital Auxiliary, hospital staff, the community at large, and the Redlands Country Club.

Live auction items included: Los Angeles Angels tickets donated by Tom Rochford, Dodger’s tickets and a Lake Arrowhead cabin getaway donated by Golf Classic committee member Tom Cutler. Bidding was lively for a one week stay at a cabin in Montana and a whiskey tasting party donated by Bob Driessnack, RCH Foundation board member. The daylong event was co-chaired by Redlands residents Tom and Karen Kaney.

“The Golf Classic is a fun day that brings the community together along with hospital staff and vendors to raise money for our Redlands Community Hospital,” said Kaney. I have had surgery at RCH in 1978, 2008 and 2018 and my experience was excellent each time. This is a day for everyone to support our hospital and have some fun,” Kaney said.

Proceeds from the tournament will support the RCH Center for Cancer Care. Can-

O

cer patients are now able to be treated close to home for diagnosis, infusion and radiation treatments.

An award was given to the medical staff at RCH, who collectively are the largest financial contributors spanning the tournament’s history. Dr. Evan Houck, medical director of the emergency department at RCH, accepted the award on behalf of his colleagues.

Hatfield Buick served as the hole-in-one sponsor, and offered a chance for golfers to demonstrate their excellence and win $35,000 towards the purchase of a new Buick on the par-3 third hole.

“This tournament is so important to the hospital,” said Jan Opdyke, president of the RCH Foundation. “Not only does it give the community and hospital staff an opportunity to enjoy a day of golf and friendship, but it raises a significant amount of money for important hospital programs that ultimately save lives. We look forward to the tournament each and every year, and this year was no exception.”

The Ken Corwin Cup memorializes Kenton W. Corwin, longtime president of the Redlands Community Hospital Foundation and a prime mover in the tournament’s creation. Forty years later, his dedication and commitment continues to be reflected in the Golf Classic’s success.

NOTICE OF TRUSTEE'S SALE TS No. CA-22-946481BF Order No.: 220583047-CAVOI YOU ARE IN DEFAULT UNDER A DEED OF TRUST DATED 12/27/2004. UNLESS YOU TAKE ACTION TO PROTECT YOUR PROPERTY, IT MAY BE SOLD AT A PUBLIC SALE. IF YOU NEED AN EXPLANATION OF THE NATURE OF THE PROCEEDING AGAINST YOU, YOU SHOULD CONTACT A LAWYER. A public auction sale to the highest bidder for cash, cashier's check drawn on a state or national bank, check drawn by state or federal credit union, or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, or savings association, or savings bank specified in Section 5102 to the Financial Code and authorized to do business in this state, will be held by duly appointed trustee. The sale will be made, but without covenant or warranty, expressed or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the note(s) secured by the Deed of Trust, with interest and late charges thereon, as provided in the note(s), advances, under the terms of the Deed of Trust, interest thereon, fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee for the total amount (at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale) reasonably estimated to be set forth below.

The amount may be greater on the day of sale. BENEFICIARY MAY ELECT TO BID LESS THAN THE TOTAL AMOUNT DUE. Trustor(s): LANA D BEALS, A WIDOW Recorded: 12/29/2004 as Instrument No. of Official 2004-0958156 Records in the office of the Recorder of SAN BERNARDINO County, California; Date of Sale: 7/17/2023 at 1:00PM Place of Sale: At the main (south) entrance to the City of Chino Civic Center, located at 13220 Central Ave., Chino, CA 91710 Amount of unpaid balance and other charges: $89,340.02 The purported property address is: 1842 CORDOVA AVE, COLTON, CA 92324 Assessor's Parcel No.: 0275-291-21-0-000 NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself.

Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder's office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 916-939-0772 for information regarding the trustee's sale or visit this internet website http://www.qualityloan.com, using the file number assigned to this foreclosure by the Trustee: CA-22-946481-BF. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the internet website. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. NOTICE TO TENANT: You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an "eligible tenant buyer," you

•COLTON COURIER LEGAL ADVERTISING • Fax (909) 384-0406

can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an "eligible bidder," you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction.

There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase.

First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call 916-939-0772, or visit this internet website http://www.qualityloan.com, using the file number assigned to this foreclosure by the Trustee: CA-22-946481-BF to find the date on which the trustee's sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee's sale. Third, you must submit a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee's sale. If you think you may qualify as an "eligible tenant buyer" or "eligible bidder," you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase.

NOTICE TO OWNERPROSPECTIVE OCCUPANT: Any prospective owner-occupant as defined in Section 2924m of the California Civil Code who is the last and highest bidder at the trustee's sale shall provide the required affidavit or declaration of eligibility to the auctioneer at the trustee's sale or shall have it delivered to QUALITY LOAN SERVICE CORPORATION by 5 p.m. on the next business day following the trustee's sale at the address set forth in the below signature block. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the property address or other common designation, if any, shown herein. If no street address or other common designation is shown, directions to the location of the property may be obtained by sending a written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of Sale. If the sale is set aside for any reason, including if the Trustee is unable to convey title, the Purchaser at the sale shall be entitled only to a return of the monies paid to the Trustee. This shall be the Purchaser's sole and exclusive remedy. The purchaser shall have no further recourse against the Trustor, the Trustee, the Beneficiary, the Beneficiary's Agent, or the Beneficiary's Attorney. If you have previously been discharged through bankruptcy, you may have been released of personal liability for this loan in which case this letter is intended to exercise the note holders right's against the real property only.

SBCUSD, Elected Officials and Employers Celebrate Two Gold-Certified Linked Learning Pathways at San Andreas High

S

Community News

an Andreas High School is excited to announce that it has been awarded prestigious Gold Certification by the Linked Learning Alliance, making it the first continuation high school in the nation to receive this national distinction.

The Linked Learning Alliance, an organization that accelerates the adoption of high-quality educational pathways that engage adolescents, strengthen workforce readiness, and advance equity, recognized San Andreas High for its commitment to preparing students for both college and career success through its two innovative Linked Learning pathways.

The Linked Learning Alliance, the SBCUSD Board of Education, and San Andreas High School will celebrate this groundbreaking recognition on Tuesday, June 20 at 5:30 p.m. at the Dr. Margaret Hill Community Room, 777 North F Street in San Bernardino.

Linked Learning integrates rigorous academics with real-world learning and strong support services to prepare students for success in college, career, and life.

Linked Learning pathways are designed to train high school students in fields that pay well and don’t necessarily require a college degree.

San Andreas High School's Linked Learning pathways provide students with immersive, career-themed educational experiences that align with their interests and aspirations. By connecting rigorous academic coursework with work-based learning and early college opportunities, San Andreas High School ensures that students are well-prepared for the full range of postsecondary options.

The two Gold Certified pathways that prepare San Andreas High School students for postsecondary opportunities in the business and medical field are now national models of excellence. Certification is based on a series of standards identified by leaders in the Linked Learning field as crucial for improving student outcomes and preparing all students for college and career.

Gold Certification validates the quality of the college and career pathway and signifies high-quality implementation of core components and equitable opportunities for all students. In total, San Bernardino City Unified has 7 Gold Linked Learning pathways and 15 Silver Linked Learning Pathways.

Quality is key to Linked Learning experiences that prepare students to succeed in college and career. Independent evaluation shows that students in certified Linked

Learning pathways have decreased dropout rates, higher graduation rates, more credits earned, more college preparatory courses completed, and improved workforce skills compared with similar peers in traditional high schools.

“SBCUSD’s trailblazing Linked Learning efforts and continued commitment to high-quality practice have generated insights, inspiration, and, importantly, evidence on what really works for students,” said Anne Stanton, president, and CEO of the Linked Learning Alliance. “We are proud to honor the potential and ambition of San Andreas students’ and celebrate the community’s progress toward a future where every young person is connected to purpose and prepared for the future they deserve.”

This seal of excellence comes six years after San Andreas High set out to establish its college and career pathways. Linked Learning Program Specialist Roberta Figueroa, who has been at the forefront of establishing the school’s pathways, said San Andreas had to overcome hurdles that other mainstream high schools don’t have. “This is a dream come true for us,” Figueroa said.

“When we first started this six years ago, a lot of people said it couldn’t be done.”

As part of the Business and Technology Pathway, students learn to grow produce hydroponically, which is then sold to local restaurants. Students in the business academy will leave San Andreas with valuable credentials like a food handlers permit or forklift certification.

Students who enroll in the Health Sciences Pathway train alongside staff from AMR, giving them hands-on exposure to careers in health care and earning credentials like American Heart Association Basic Life Support, first aid, and OSHA.

“We are incredibly proud to be the first continuation high school to achieve Gold Certification from the Linked Learning Alliance," said Principal Dorie Stratton. “This recognition validates the hard work and commitment of our educators, students, and community partners who have all contributed to the success of our Linked Learning pathways. We believe in the potential of every student, and through our robust career-themed programs, we are preparing them for a bright future beyond high school.”

The Gold Certification is a significant milestone for San Andreas High School and serves as an inspiration for other continuation high schools across the region and state. By demonstrating that even in non-traditional educational settings, students can receive a comprehensive education that prepares them for both college and ca-

reers, San Andreas High School is leading the way in redefining what is possible for young people.

The Linked Learning Alliance is a statewide coalition of educators, employers, and community organizations that are committed to improving education outcomes for all students.

Their Gold Certification is a rigorous process that evaluates and recognizes Linked Learning pathways for meeting the highest standards of excellence in four key areas: preparing students for college and careers, integrating academics with real-world experiences, fostering relationships with industry partners, and providing comprehensive support systems.

The Linked Learning approach, piloted in nine California districts a decade ago, is now embraced as the high school strategy for a growing number of districts across the state.

Currently, California lawmakers are considering $500 million in funding for college and career pathways critical investments in youth during their decade of difference, a period from ages 14 to 24, when research shows young people develop their identities, dispositions, and lifelong aspirations.

These planned investments offer the opportunity to scale Linked Learning pathways like those offered at San Andreas, to even more underserved students throughout the state.

San Andreas High School's Gold Certification from the Linked Learning Alliance not only highlights the exceptional achievements of the school but also underscores its commitment to transforming lives and providing equitable opportunities for all students.

Through its innovative Linked Learning pathways, San Andreas High School is nurturing the next generation of leaders, thinkers, and professionals who will shape our community and society.

San Andreas High School is a leading continuation high school located in Highland, California. Committed to providing high-quality education for students who have faced various challenges in traditional educational settings, San Andreas High School offers a supportive learning environment that empowers students to succeed academically and personally. With its innovative Linked Learning pathways, the school prepares students for both college and careers, equipping them with the skills and knowledge necessary for future success.
