On 23 February 2011, as part of the Antelope Valley Union High School District's commemoration of Career-Technical Education month, seventeen community members, educators, counselors, and administrators visited math, business, and engineering-related courses at Lancaster High School, Amargosa Creek Middle School, Antelope Valley College, Cal State Bakersfield-AV, and the Lancaster University Center/AV Engineering Programs. Instructors Duane Robertson and Kevin Spoelstra at Lancaster High School, Bobbie Mitchell at Amargosa Creek Middle School, Mary Holcomb at Antelope Valley College, and Dr. John Emery of CSUB-AV welcomed the participants to their classrooms, hosted by Principals Steve Radford, Julianne Vela, Deans Drs. Tom O'Neil and Les Uhazy, and Drs. Jess Deegan and Ken Santarelli of the respective institutions. Through the tour, participants were able to see the connections among courses in the business pathway, and engineering program of study from middle school, through high school and college.
Funding for bus transportation was provided through Tech Prep, and for refreshments through the regional SB70 grant collaborative.
