Jefferson Union High School District offered a Green Awareness Summer Program for rising 7th & 8th grade students enrolled at Jefferson Elementary School District and Pacifica School District. The summer program was funded by the Strong Workforce Grant that focuses on aligning Middle School, High School, and Community College Career Technical Education Pathways.

Students had the opportunity to explore green careers that work towards environmentally-sustainable and socially-responsible practices, careers, and life choices. Students participated in green awareness hands-on activities and field trips in Computer Science, Engineering, Product Development, and Career Exploration.

JUHSD students took part in a summer robotics course at Jefferson High School. The project based course offered students an introduction into the Engineering Pathway. Students were introduced to basic concepts, or advanced, depending upon their levels of expertise, in robotics. Students explored, via Tetrix robotics equipment, the relationships between the field of mathematics, science, especially physics, and technology. Students worked together in building and testing a basic (or complex) Tetrix-based mobile robot.

The Advanced Fashion Design and Construction students from Westmoor High School visited the Legion of Honor to view the Guo Pei exhibit. Guo Pei: Couture Fantasy celebrates the extraordinary designs of Guo Pei—hailed as China's first couturier—and includes more than 80 works from the past two decades highlighting her most important collections shown on Beijing and Paris runways.
