Student reporter outlines spring events and college night for Carlsbad Unified

Chloe Johnson, invited by the board to provide the student report on behalf of absent student representative Jessica Ramirez, updated the Carlsbad Unified School District board on April activities and upcoming student events.

Johnson said Sage Creek hosted its annual art festival in April to showcase student work from the visual and performing arts program and that students took part in a weeklong spirit week. She said Sage also held a junior family night to give families of the Class of 2027 guidance on senior-year planning and postsecondary options.

She announced a college-and-career night scheduled for April 21 at Mira Costa CollegeSan Elijo campus. Johnson said the event is sponsored by the district and partnered with the San Dieguito Union High School District and the Western Association of College Admissions Counselors to help students and families explore postsecondary options.

Johnson outlined other student activities: SAGES ASB is running a March Madness tournament, a talent show and events in preparation for prom; the VAPA department will present a music-collage concert showcasing student musical acts; and Bobcat seniors will present their Genius Project Forum on April 24.

She also described recent inclusive events at Carlsbad High School: a Best Buddies gathering that brought special-education students from districts across San Diego together, and a Daybreak Church event hosted at the high school that Johnson said drew more than 1,000 people for games, food and worship.

Johnson closed by noting that spring athletics were wrapping up, with teams such as boys tennis, golf and lacrosse finishing their seasons. The report was delivered for information; the board did not take any formal action on the items Johnson listed.
