Carly Mahoney's students at Cahuilla Desert Academy love learning about career clusters and future career opportunities.

Mahoney explains, "I am excited to be teaching my second year of College & Career Ready Labs. Paxton Patterson allows all students opportunities for hands-on exploration in a project-based learning environment. This innovative program fosters learning as students navigate their pathways.
