Abstract | The Antelope Valley Union High School District (AVUHSD), located in the Los Angeles, Bakersfield, and San Bernardino metro areas, receives students from eight area K-8 districts. AVUHSD is home to seven career academies with themes ranging from digital design and engineering to law and government, each of which integrates core content with project-based learning. It serves more than 20,000 students of highly diverse ethnic and socio-economic backgrounds, many of whom are English learners and students with disabilities. Despite these challenges, the district promotes high standards for student achievement in college and career readiness. AVUHSD began its commitment to vocational programs with simple agriculture and trades courses. Today, the school district has partnered with Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Boeing and others to offer students innovative and modern CTE courses to help feed a pipeline of future workers.
