Starting a new career doesn’t come with an age limit, and neither does finding support for your next step.

Whether you’re entering the workforce, changing careers or returning after retirement, PSA offers career training, computer skills classes and counseling to help you move forward. Community partners joined the celebration, which also included a certificate of recognition from Assemblymember Joe Patterson’s office.

Friday night, more than 20 members of the Placer High School choir, led by director Ryan Carr, joined Foreigner onstage at a sold-out Thunder Valley show to perform "I Want to Know What Love Is." As part of Foreigner's partnership with the Grammy Foundation to support music education in public schools, Thunder Valley and Foreigner each donated $500 to Placer's music program. Thank you to the Lincoln News Messenger for covering a night our students will never forget!

How do four years of high school become a launchpad for what comes next?

In PUHSD, more than 40% of graduates complete a Career Technical Education pathway, more than 40% participate in dual enrollment, and 65% complete A–G requirements. Together with other readiness measures, that places our district among the top 5% in California for preparing students for college and career.

Our new State of the District is a conversation about the vision guiding PUHSD, the progress happening across our schools, and the work ahead to ensure every student graduates ready for college, career, and life.

What does it mean to lead a school whose story began long before you arrived—and whose next chapter is still being written?

For our principals, it means deciding what to preserve, where to grow, and how to do right by the students and staff counting on them.

For National Principals Month, we asked four PUHSD principals what part of their school’s story they feel most responsible for protecting, what makes them proudest of their staff, and what responsibilities families rarely see. Their answers reflect the communities they serve, but share a common thread: deep care for their students, trust in their staff, and a thoughtful approach to the decisions they make.

Swipe through to hear from Erin Davenport at Foresthill High School, Nick Zerwas at Del Oro High School, Jaime Jackson at Placer High School, and Zach Pless, who leads Maidu, Confluence, and Confluence West.

We’re grateful for their steady leadership every day—and look forward to celebrating more of our principals in May for School Principals Day!
