Ten years ago, HSD launched the Career and College Pathways project with a bold vision: to forge clear and viable educational paths for all students. Today, we proudly reflect on the growth and success of this initiative. Over the past decade, we have developed more than 60 CCPs, including 34 state-approved Career and Technical Education programs. This milestone underscores the relentless commitment and invaluable contributions of our partners across various career sectors. At our spring CCP Steering Committee meeting on April 16th, we brought staff leaders together with partners from local industry, postsecondary institutions, and community organizations to celebrate our achievements and discuss ways we can further enhance our offerings. Attendees had the opportunity to go on bus tours of our schools, visit CCP classrooms, and interact directly with the teachers and students who are driving our programs forward.  We also celebrated increasing student participation in our CCPs, the expansion of work-based learning opportunities, and the growing number of students earning college credits while in high school. These achievements not only demonstrate our students' preparedness for postsecondary challenges, but also affirm the core values of our educational mission.  Visit our website to learn more about our work, and about recent and upcoming events: Sports Marketing Hillsboro Hops Takeover Nights: Tuesday, May 21st for Hilhi; and Tuesday, May 28th for Liberty Hilhi Sports Medicine Mentorship: Shaping Future Healthcare Leaders with OHSU Glencoe High School Showcases Student Craftsmanship in Woodworking Contest Century Staff Serve up Sushi Skills in Culinary Our featured event was our 9th Annual Proud to be HSD Festival on Saturday, May 11th!

What You'll Hear In This Episode:- Zia discovering burlesque and being captivated by its freedom and openness- Struggling with embracing sensuality, sexuality, and femininity- Therapy, self-work, and self-love to deconstruct upbringing in a religion- Her journey defining success based on personal truth and self-acceptance- Societal expectations and the patriarchy's influence on women's self-worth- Stripping industry stigma and mistreatment, advocating for better protection and acceptance- Zia's admiration for strippers' sales skills and work ethic- Prioritizing performance over seeking male attention- Embracing and appreciating sensuality and beauty through burlesque- The importance of self-love, sensuality, and personal exploration Key quotes:"In the process of pursuing what I love, it brings a satisfaction and joy of life that I never thought I could have." — Zia Sandía“When you start learning how to trust yourself, you can take another person's point of view and think about it, but not let it hurt you." — Zia Sandía"It sounds like as a woman, it can be incredibly empowering to feel your beauty, your sensuality, instead of feeling that there's something wrong with it. That is an issue for women today…they find their power in their work and their corporate jobs and in all these other things, and they lose sight of who they are as women." — Lisa Shield"To excite the audience, to pull out sensuality and lure them in on a mass scale was something that was such a challenge to me, like something I didn't ever think I could do." — Zia Sandía"You have to find the sensuality and the beauty within yourself in order to invoke that to others." — Zia Sandía"It would be nice if [sex work] were more accepted and if it were more protected... the women could be more protected." — Lisa Shield'We are taught as women that we are a threat and we need to stay in line. And if we are going to be seen as worth it or worthy to a man, we better learn our place. And that teaches women that they need to offer something more than what they just are to be good enough.'" — Zia SandíaContinue On Your Journey: Lisa Shield | YouTube | Facebook | Instagram | Book a Call With LisaEmail the podcast at: podcast@lisashield.com

How Being a Veteran Has Helped Wes as a Leader Wes believes that his experience in the Army has dramatically influenced his leadership style and ability to lead his team effectively. He highlights two key aspects that he attributes to his military background: team development and the ability to work under pressure and adapt.

Overcoming Negative Image Visit Stockton faces the ongoing challenge of combating the negative perception surrounding the city. Despite being the 11th largest city in California, Stockton is plagued by higher violent crime rates, leading to discouraging comments from residents. However, the team at Visit Stockton remains determined to change the narrative. They organize fun projects and initiatives, such as a campaign highlighting Stockton as the birthplace of the Fantastic Four. Although these efforts may not directly change people's opinions or attract tourists, they create a sense of pride among residents and offer a feel-good factor for the team.

Reviewed in the Times Square Chronicles, “Betsy (Alison Fraser) longs for something more, alongside interactions of the less virtuous kind with the handsome and sweet-talking Flavio, played seductively by the appealing Glauco Araujo (Spielvogel's Come Back Once More).” Recently, Glauco performed in a short bio-pic entitled Dance for Freedom directed by Severine Reisp, highlighting the challenges people of color face today, and which has garnered recognition as the First-Place Recipient of the Dr. David Milch Foundation/CCNY Award in short film competition. In her review, juror Timberkly Whitfield, program executive and producer for A&E, as well as a host on the History Channel and A&E, wrote: “Glauco Araujo is a beautiful dancer and you capture him in such a way that really moved me. I felt inspired by his story that even in the face of racism he doesn't see himself as a victim. Strong production values. You checked all the boxes on this one — FANTASTIC!”  Link from past Interviews  http://diversityrulesmagazine.com/2021/02/28/march-feature-interview-glauco-araujo/http://www.ourtownny.com/news/the-universal-language-of-the-arts-YE1547010https://elespecial.com/glauco-araujo-el-bailarin-que-ha-conquistado-de-brasil-new-yorkhttps://www.noticiali.com/glauco-araujo-sobreviviendo-a-traves-de-la-creatividad/

Indigenous folkloric dances--the Aztecs, Mayas and Yaquis. Imagine it to be the late 15the Century or early 16th Centruy -- a time before the year 1519, before the arrival of the Spaniards to Mexico. It is a cool and breezy afternoon in the central highland plateau of Mexico. It is possibly the afternoon of the equinox, a religious feast day of tremendous magnitude in the religion of the people that inhabit a major metropolis of nearly one million people in the city of Tenochtitlan, the capital city of the Aztec empire. The call from the conchas, or shell, alerts the people that the hour has arrived for the religious celebration to take place around the base of the pyramids in the center of the city. The entire population will be asked to participate. From all the causeways that lead to the center of Tenochtitlan, the people come marching to be in the festivities in which they will pay thanks and homage to their deities. Atop the top of the pyramid, at the teocalli, the smoke from a small fire can be seen; the high priests from the orden sacerdotal, or the sacerdotal order, await for the massing of the people. When they are all together, the festivities begin – -the incantations are given, - the guerras floridas take place; these are the mock battles and mock wars fought with flowers and banners surrounded by flowers on bamboo or reed shafts carried by warriors and swung like knives and swords, instead of the real weapons; - the human sacrifices are performed; - and then the dance begins... this podcast opens by setting the stage of the folkloric dances of the ancient Aztec empire -- what we call, las DANZAS INDIGENAS – the folkloric dances of the indigenous tribes of Mexico. This scenario took place in many of the indigenous tribal cities – from Tlaxcala to Cholula to Tenochtitlan, the central might of the Aztec empire, which is today Mexico City. In this episode, we will cover the danzas indigenas, that is the pre-Columbian era of Mexican folklore and dance. We cover 3 regions or tribes and their pre-Columbian dances: (1) the Aztecs with their dances honoring their deities called Quetzalcoatl and Huizilopotchli; (2) the Poblanos and their Danza de los Quetzales; and (3) the famous Danza del Venado of the Yaquis in the Northwestern desert areas of Sonora. Different examples of the music are given in this podcast episode, as the recordings came from an outdoor, live performance of Ballet Folklorico groups in a free presentation at the large open-air ampitheatre in San Antonio, Texas. This podcast also contains a brief discussion of the importance of folkloric dance to the indigenous peoples of Mexico, as well as how it set the stage of the evolution of what is today folklorico music and dance of Mexico, after the coming of the Spaniards and the Conquest of Mexico.
