🎓 October is College Awareness Month, and to celebrate, Compton Unified held its 9th Annual College Fair today at Dominguez High School! Nearly 400 scholars from Centennial, Compton Early College High School, Compton High School, and Dominguez had the opportunity to meet with reps from 36 colleges and universities, along with the U.S. Marine Corps. 🎉 📚With college applications already open and deadlines approaching in early December, this event helps our students explore their options and start preparing for their future! This is just one of many events that the CUSD College and Career departments at the four high schools hold to help out students with the process of touring colleges, applying to colleges, and helping secure financial aid to help pay for college. 💪🏾Last year, Compton Unified had an incredible 88% college acceptance rate, and we encourage all our students to apply to colleges and universities and pursue higher education! #college #University #CollegeAwarenessMonth #CollegeBound #collegeapplications #ComptonUnified #Elevate

🎓 Centennial High School is dedicated to preparing students for the future! Today, the Compton Unified high school participated in a mock election, gaining firsthand experience in the voting process. This activity isn’t just about casting a ballot—it’s about educating our students on the importance of civic engagement, understanding how elections impact their communities, and how their voices can shape the future. 🔥 By learning the step-by-step process of voting, students develop critical thinking, decision-making, and research skills, which will help them become informed citizens. These experiences equip our students with the knowledge and confidence to take part in future elections and become active participants in our democracy. #FutureVoters #MockElections #vote #election2024 #democracy #ComptonUnified #elevate

🌽 In celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month, Mrs. Martha Mariscal’s preschool class at Roosevelt Elementary School had a special hands-on tamale-making activity! 🎉 Mrs. Mariscal shared her love for this family tradition with her students. The lesson started with a book introducing the kids to tamales, followed by mixing, folding, and enjoying their tasty creations. One student even asked for seconds! ❤️For Mrs. Mariscal, the tamale-making isn’t just about food — it’s about sharing memories, traditions, and building a sense of community. #HispanicHeritageMonth #Tamales #CulturalTraditions #HandsOnLearning #Roosevelt #ComptonUnified #Elevate

🎶✨ 45 Compton High School scholars had an amazing experience at the Warner Music Group offices in Downtown Los Angeles yesterday! They enjoyed an exclusive tour and a powerful panel discussion with top executives from divisions like Rhino Entertainment, Warner Records, and Warner Chappell Music Publishing. 🎤 🎧These students, all part of Mr. Joshua Jones' Audio Production class and the Audio Production Pathway, learned firsthand about roles in digital marketing, licensing, and A&R operations. The executives also discussed the difference between recorded music and song publishing, ownership of music rights, and many other relevant music industry topics. 🔥The key takeaway? The music industry is all about relationships and internships are a great entry point! 🤝 🎶In the end, the Compton High School students received many valuable insights from leading music executives and got an inside look at what really goes on at a music company. 🎶 #Music #MusicJobs #MusicIndustryJobs #WarnerMusicGroup #WMG #AudioProduction #ComptonUnified #CompanyTours #Elevate

45 CUSD scholars attended a Mini Med School presented by the American Medical Women's Association (AMWA)’s at David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA to learn more about attending medical school and different jobs in the medical profession. While at UCLA, they toured the campus and visited the Medical School. The scholars from Centennial, Compton High School, and Dominguez High School are currently enrolled in CUSD’s Emergency Medical Response Pathways at their high schools and all are interested in pursuing careers in the medical field. As part of the Mini Med School, scholars attended a Healthcare Panel and heard more about each person’s job in healthcare including from an OBGYN Doctor, Pharmacist, and Public Health Advocate. Two of the speakers were from Compton and talked about their journey to healthcare. In addition, the scholars also participated in hand’s on activities including conducting an ultrasound, learning CPR, and suturing a wound. The trip was an incredible experience for CUSD scholars to learn first-hand about the medical field and different opportunities in it. #UCLA #medschool #careers #medicalcareers #doctors #nurses #ComptonUnified #Elevate

🐟 What does a Marine Biologist do? Davis Middle School scholars found out recently! Nichole Gatten, a Marine Biologist from the Cabrillo Marine Aquarium, visited the school and Mr. Jose Gonzalez’s class, and talked to the scholars about her job and career. 🐚 At the Cabrillo Marine Aquarium, Ms. Gatten works with three different endangered species including the white abalone, trying to keep them alive and thriving in the local coastal ecosystem. During her talk with the scholars, she discussed some of the environmental issues concerning sustainability and our coastlines and piers. Mr. Gonzalez’s class is currently working on several ocean-related projects, such as building submarines, and took the opportunity to ask Ms. Gatten relevant questions. She also encouraged scholars to get involved in the Cabrillo Marine Aquarium Young Scientists Program, that provides students the opportunity to explore their passion for marine science with guidance from professional marine researchers. #careers #oceancareers #marinebiologist #ocean #ComptonUnified #Elevate
