🏫 Hallway Highlights: A One-of-a-Kind Program!

Did you know Casa Grande High School is home to the nation's only student-run fish hatchery? Through the United Anglers of Casa Grande, students raise and release steelhead — and even provide fish to the Army Corps of Engineers!

It's a hands-on program that combines science, conservation, and real-world impact, all led by students right here in our district. 🐟🎣

🏫 Hallway Highlights: A Piece of Petaluma History!

Did you know Petaluma High School began as a public school all the way back in 1873? That makes it one of the oldest high schools in California — and over 150 years old!

From its earliest classrooms to today, Petaluma High has been a cornerstone of this community for generations. Generations of Trojans have walked our halls, and the tradition continues today. 🐴📚

🐐🐄 FAIR WEEK IN FULL SWING! 🐖🐑

This week, our 4-H 🍀 and FFA students from Petaluma City Schools are showing off months (and in some cases, years) of hard work at the fair — and we could not be prouder.

Through our agriculture programs at Petaluma High School and Petaluma Junior High, students get hands-on experience, learning responsibility, dedication, and skills that go way beyond the show ring. These kids put in the early mornings, the late nights, and the everyday grind — and this week, we're cheering for it all to pay off. 💪

And a HUGE shout out to our FFA advisors, Jake Dunn and Kim Arntz. 👏 Not only do they help keep this — arguably THE most important week of the year for an ag kid — running smoothly, but they turn right around and dive into a new school year next week. Real-life superheroes. 🦸‍♂️🦸‍♀️

We see you, we appreciate you, and we're so grateful for everything you do for our students.

Go get 'em, Petaluma! ✨
