Pioneers win statewide web design competition

State Superintendent of Public Instruction Jack O'Connell announced that Simi Valley High School in Simi Valley is the winner of the California Department of Education's Career Technical Education Web Page Design Competition.

"I congratulate teacher Stephen Caswell and the students in his web design class at Simi Valley High School," O'Connell said.

"These students have designed a wonderful example site for career technical education information in the state. This website will help us prepare all students for the more globally competitive jobs of the future, whether they go straight into the work force after graduating from high school or to college."

Simi Valley High School was selected from among nine entries for producing the best proposed web design that met requirements for accessibility, ease of use, communication of information and visual appeal.

The new pages are expected to provide information about CTE opportunities, resources and programs.

The pages are expected to be housed on the department's website at www.cde.ca.gov/ci/ct.

The website provides a onestop shop for pupils, parents, guardians, teachers, counselors, administrators, business and industry, and professional and trade representatives seeking CTE information in California.
