A Parent’s Guide to San Diego Schools is a valuable, research-driven resource that helps families navigate school choices with confidence. This year, the guide takes a deeper look at the powerful role Career Technical Education (CTE) plays in shaping student success beyond the classroom. In a discussion led by Morgan Appel of UC San Diego, Andrea Lopez-Villafaña and Jakob McWhinney of Voice of San Diego highlight how CTE programs provide early, hands-on learning that builds practical skills, boosts confidence, and creates direct pathways to meaningful careers. Taylor Dunne of the San Diego Regional Economic Development Corporation adds that when CTE offerings are matched with up-to-date labor market data, students are not just learning—they’re preparing for real opportunities in San Diego’s evolving job market. The panel agrees that while the guide offers important data and comparisons, there’s no substitute for visiting schools and seeing where students truly thrive.
