April 16 is National Pathway Day

On this day we are recognizing the industry-themed pathway and academy courses students take to prepare them for both college and career. 

National Pathway Day is now listed on the official National calendar as a result of the Porterville Unified School District, a long-time leader in this work with proven gains.

Join us! 

Let’s all use this opportunity to promote pathways within our own community.  There are several things you can do on April 16th to participate.

Suggested activities might include:

  • Create a social media post on April 16th to celebrate the day
  • Send out an announcement  email to your partners, clients & staff thanking them for their efforts in celebration of the day
  • Post a National Pathway Day announcement on your website (Porterville Example) and include:
    • Student testimonials
    • A list of your business partners
    • A positive pathway story
    • Participation or Achievement Data
    • An alumni story
    • Pictures of a pathway in action
    • Company/Business/Industry testimonials
