Centinela Snares State Award

Centinela Valley Union High School District has won a Golden Bell award from the California School Boards Association for its transition services to special-education students.

Targeting students 14-22, Centinela’s transition services provide comprehensive pre-employment training to equip pupils with marketable job skills as well as independent-living and social skills. It assists students with their transition from high school to working life and provides a variety of follow-up services.

The Golden Bell Awards aim to promote excellence in education by recognizing outstanding curricular programs that address the changing needs of California students.

The district will officially be recognized during a luncheon in San Diego on December 1.
