This special free event will showcase the outstanding work of Poway Unified School District’s CTE students across a wide range of industry pathways. Their projects and demonstrations highlight the critical real-world skills they are developing through the support of dedicated partners like you.
Opening Ceremony at 5:00 PM
Join us to hear from the Poway Unified School District Superintendent, school board members and enjoy a special opportunity to meet our Superintendent and other District leaders as we look ahead to an exciting chapter. The Superintendent is requesting to meet our PUSD Partners in Education. Following that, you are encouraged to explore student tables and ask them questions about their learning experiences in our CTE Pathways. This is a networking and communication skills exercise for our students who have been preparing for this event. We encourage our partners to ask tough questions of our students to help them develop their contemporaneous critical reasoning. Your partnership helps shape the future of our students, and we would be honored by your presence at this celebration of education, innovation, and community collaboration to benefit student learning. Your involvement helps bridge education and industry—creating authentic learning experiences that prepare students for success in college, career, and life.

Business & Industry Partnership
Through our Partners in Education program, Poway Unified School District fosters and maintains relationships with our local business and community partners.

By providing a variety of work-based or community-based learning experiences to students, our Partners in Education help to ensure that curriculum is relevant and that students develop the knowledge and skills they need to thrive in school, career, and life.
