  • Mr. Lesure & Mrs. Dones take Milor Students to Mt. San Antonio College!

    Posted by Flora Dones on 2/11/2025

    This trip was super fun! We took the students on a tour of another community college campus, and they got to learn about the different programs, certificates, degrees and services they offer. After the campus tour, we also got to explore their Wild Life Sanctuary! The guide that took us through the sanctuary is also a professor at Mt. SAC. He was accompanied by an assistant. He was very funny and kept the student's interest while talking about the wildlife. Here are photos that were taken on the trip.

  • Cal Poly Pomona

    Posted by Flora Dones on 10/17/2024

    On Thursday, Oct 17th, a select few students were invited to visit the water treatment facilities on the Cal Poly Pomona campus. We were greeted by Joe Phillipy, Chief Operator, Water Operations, who gave us a tour of the facility and his life experience leading up to how he got to working there. The students got an opportunity to check out the different machines, were lectured on how they work, and presented with parts/materials used for the water treatment process. Some more curious than others were able to ask Joe questions regarding the profession. They got a lot of insight into the facility and the career. Afterward, the students got a light lunch and then were on their way back to school. Below is a slideshow of the trip.
