Pasadena : School Arts Academy OKd
A plan to open a graphic arts academy at Pasadena High School in September, 1991, was approved Tuesday night by the Pasadena Unified School District board.
The academy will teach graphic arts skills to high school students in a partnership with local graphic arts firms, said John Porter, director of the school district’s secondary education.
The academy will be run as a specialized school within Pasadena High to prepare interested students to enter the graphic arts industry, Porter said. The district hopes to open similar academies in computer science, environmental science, finance, teaching, international commerce, and construction and design at area high schools over the next five years, he said. A health careers academy will open at Blair High School in September.
