On December 3rd, our 11th grade Engineering students visited Cal Poly Pomona. They got a briefing on the college admissions process and an in depth tour of the campus. Along with Mr. Johnson and Mr. Lee they walked their rapid prototyping labs that absolutely impressed them that our machinery on our own campus rivals what the college students get to work with.

Hot off the presses is our new Corona STEM Academy/CTE video put together by our very own, Mr. Brady. The video highlights our Academy and CTE course offerings, and provides an overall intro to The Corona High School! Please enjoy this production:
