Students from Delano, Chavez, and Kennedy High Schools attended the Kern County Career & STEM Expo at CTEC Bakersfield on March 26, 2026.  They explored hands-on opportunities, connected with industry professionals, and got inspired about their future pathway in STEM and beyond.  Our students also gave back while there.  Volunteers stepped up at the Impossible Science exhibit helping create an engaging and interactive experience for attendees.  

Chavez High School pathway students from performing arts, food, and multimedia pathways represented CCHS with excellence, delivering live performances, selling delicious baked good, and capturing the energy of the event by recording The Murals performance.  We're proud of our students for demonstrating creativity, collaboration, and career-ready skills in action.  

HOSA students from Delano, Kennedy, and Chavez represented with excellence at the State Leadership Conference in Ontario, CA on March 26-29, 2026.  A huge congratulations to Jada Lynn Ramos from Chavez for earning a scholarship, an incredible achievement that reflects hard work and dedication.  Jasmine, also from Chavez, placed in the Top 5 in Medical Terminology, what an outstanding accomplishment.  We are so proud of all our HOSA students for their commitment to leadership, service, and the future of healthcare.
