Since 2011, PSA has been offered at Desert Hot Springs High School through the California Partnership Academies Program Grant. PSA is designed for students who are interested in law enforcement, firefighting, and emergency medical services and want to earn their high school diploma while earning college credit and preparing for public safety careers.
CONGRATULATIONS to Nyomi and Christopher for representing California and DHSHS at SkillsUSA National Leadership & Skills Conference in Atlanta, GA June 23-29, 2024.

Awesome job!
