Moreno Valley Unified School District (MVUSD) has developed a highly successful Cyber Academic Pathway program that was recently profiled in SynED’s Agents of Change: Cybersecurity Career Pathways in the Inland Empire.
Next, Donna wrote a career pathway curriculum for Riverside County, which was approved for college credit and then entered into articulation agreements with local colleges—a major step, as students have a greater likelihood of pursuing higher education if they receive college credit for the courses they complete in high school. In 2020, Donna was honored with the inaugural Presidential Cybersecurity Education Award for her dedication and tireless efforts in establishing the Cyber Academic Pathway program.
ConvergeOne is proud to donate $5,000 to this incredible program and congratulates the MVUSD team on connecting its students with purpose and helping them achieve their full potential.
“ConvergeOne has been with us since our very first day with only 37 students in our program,” said Donna. “Enrollment in the CTE Cyber Academic Pathway for the 2021-22 school year is at 629 and we are still adding students! … [T]he teachers and I sit in our Cyber Academic Pathway planning meetings and we say, ‘Five years ago, we could have never imagined how far this would go.’ The response from students, parents, the school board, all these partners, you pinch yourself. It’s hard to believe.”
