Palo Alto College's Career and Technical Education

🌱🧬 Summer Bridge 2026 Day 2 was all about Biology!

Students had the opportunity to learn from Dr. Allison Clark through an engaging hands-on lab experience that brought biological concepts to life. After the lab, students rolled up their sleeves and helped out in the community garden, gaining valuable experience while learning about sustainability, food systems, and the importance of giving back to the community.

We were also excited to welcome TSgt Marques Smith, who spoke with students about career opportunities in the U.S. Space Force, sharing valuable insights into leadership, service, and the growing role of space operations in our nation's future.

We’re proud to see our future Palominos exploring science both inside and outside the classroom while learning about the many career paths available to them! 🐴

Day 1 of our 2026 Summer Bridge Program is officially in the books! 🎉

Students kicked off the week with an engaging Chemistry Day led by James Rogers, where they had the opportunity to participate in a hands-on lab experience and explore real-world scientific concepts. From conducting experiments to building new skills, our future Palominos got a taste of the exciting learning opportunities that await them at Palo Alto College.

We’re excited to see all that this amazing group will accomplish throughout the program. Stay tuned for more Summer Bridge highlights! 🧪🔬🐴

Last week, the Palo Alto College Career & Technical Education team joined Sidney Lanier High School to celebrate Decision Day and congratulate our future Palominos! 🎉

We are excited to welcome them to campus and look forward to supporting them as they explore new opportunities, build valuable skills, and work toward their career goals.

Congratulations, future Palominos—we can't wait to see all that you accomplish!🐴

Always save and organize your files as you work! Creating clear folder names and saving different versions of projects can save you time, reduce stress, and make troubleshooting much easier later on. 👨‍💻📁
