Summary
High school leaders presented minor course-catalog revisions for 2026–27: Mariachi 2 and a new CTE Food Science, Dietetics & Nutrition pathway were added, while culinary arts, ethnic studies (not on the master schedule) and several low-enrollment electives were removed; MSS will become a two-year integrated sequence to meet A–G requirements.
Glendora High School leadership presented proposed minor revisions to the 2026–27 course catalog and said the changes do not require board policy updates.
Assistant principal Brian Ellerighe described three additions: Mariachi 2 (an intermediate/advanced ensemble), and a new CTE pathway featuring Food Science, Dietetics & Nutrition 1 and 2 as concentrator and capstone courses approved for A–G credit. Deletions included the culinary-arts courses (replaced by the new CTE offering), ethnic studies (not currently on the master schedule), and several lower-interest electives such as exploring computer science, robotics, video production and MRWC (Math Reasoning with Connections).
The catalog also includes one course restructuring: MSS (math strategies for success) will transition from a one-year intervention to a two-year integrated sequence (Integrated 1A and 1B) to permit A–G approval and better prepare students for subsequent integrated math courses.
Trustees expressed enthusiasm for the mariachi and CTE additions and for changes that increase A–G options; the board received the presentation and did not take further action at the meeting.
