Focusing on enhancing and developing the Career Choices series, sessions included the middle school bridge program, whole-school implementation, principal and counselor training, dual enrollment, and so much more. The closing session featured a keynote from veteran educator and retired principal of Indio High School, Rudy Ramirez, and an emotional surprise “thank you” video from students of the Indio Documentary.
