Shoutout to our CMS ACE classes! They recently had a special presenter, Mr. Danny Pavey, who shared his 57 years of architecture experience. He showed students house blueprints he designed and explained the process of creating a home from start to finish. What an awesome learning opportunity!

Shoutout to our CMS Leadership students for visiting North County Senior Living on 11-21-25! They brought a Thankful Tree activity for the residents and helped them complete it. It was a great experience and a reminder that there is always something to be thankful for.

As we head into the wonderful month of December, we’re wrapping up the semester and gearing up for finals. But we’re just as excited for Christmas Break right around the corner! It’s getting colder outside, so make sure to bundle up and stay warm!

It’s good to be a Cardinal!
