College Fair Alert!!

Hey all you Baysiders! We recently had our first college fair of the year thanks to our Assistant Principal of School Development, Ms. Haroutunian. Thanks Ms. H for all your hard work for our future college students!

We had a large turn out of over 500 student, just about half of the 2025 graduating class. We are looking to have two college fairs in the upcoming 2025-2026 School Year.

Students were able to find out about how the insights and experiences had in their own CTE student interests would bridge a program of interest at their chosen colleges. We thank all administrations, parents, and students for participating in this great event!

What a turn out !

Bayside High School’s annual Trade Fair!!!

An event showcasing the work of the Juniors in the Humanities & Non-Profit Management CTE Program, kicked off Friday, May 24th, starting third period in the Library. Until the end of period nine, the students showed off their projects, where they were tasked with creating a business plan and product of their own, meant to tackle a prominent issue society faces today. Ticket-wielding students, staff, and industry partners were invited to walk around and take a look at the projects. They were met with an experience unlike any other!

Students explored various interests connected to their CTE Programs, we thank all the Bayside Alumnus that also contributed to our community!

Hey CTE Baysiders, how is your internship placements going? A few student have come into the office today asking what goes into a great resume? In fact, a student asked:

Why do I need a resume Mr. Morra? Can't I just talk about myself at a job interview? Well...

A resume is the first impression an employer has of you as it contains your contact information, work experience, and skills. It is important that this is a professional and concise document that will help you stand out from other candidates.

Let's take a look at what goes into a resume, these slides are available on our Google Classroom but I have attached pictures for you to follow along! Consider each picture a step in order!

Here is a sample resume to compare to your own once you have finished:
