Welcome from Superintendent Linda Dawson Hello All! Welcome to the 2019-20 school year! There are many exciting events this year including the Learning Summit and Fall Leadership week. The implementation of the CTEIG grant and the Strong Workforce Grant at SIATech will provide exciting opportunities for new career pathways and other CTE learning for our students. I am confident that we will be successful in not only graduating more students in 2019-20 but also graduating more students with CTE certifications, resilience, and a clear path to success in their future!

SIATech Perris Enrolls New Student, Another Graduates SIATech is an open entry, open exit program. This means that new students enroll each day, and students graduate when they have met all the requirements for graduation. Rayheme is a recently enrolled student who left a larger public school environment as he felt he wasn't receiving the interaction from teachers that he needed to succeed. Jordy was on track to graduate in 2018. Unfortunately, he suffered from a biking accident that required surgery and months of rehabilitation. SIATech helped him get back on track to graduation.

ALUMNI UPDATE: Cisco Sanchez, Class of 2010 Cisco enrolled at SIATech at San Diego Job Corps to get his life back on track after a period of being out of school and out of work. He liked that SIATech is a mix between mentoring and education with the idea that not all students learn the same. Cisco went on to be an intern for Congresswoman Susan Davis, a very successful student, and the speaker at SIATech's graduation.
