At Buena Vista High School, students are not only preparing for graduation—they are preparing for the future. Through hands-on experiences in media production and business advertising, students develop the skills and confidence necessary to succeed in an evolving world. Guided by Mrs. Torres, they engage in real-world projects that bridge creativity and entrepreneurship, embodying Paramount Unified School District’s mission to empower students with the knowledge and skills for success in college, career, and life.
Mrs. Torres leads students through every stage of the creative and production process, transforming their ideas into tangible, professional-quality products. Whether designing and screen-printing custom apparel, producing promotional buttons with specialized presses, or crafting company stickers for business branding, students gain practical experience that directly translates to the workforce. This hands-on learning approach aligns with PUSD’s vision to cultivate lifelong learners who contribute meaningfully to society.
Beyond production work, Buena Vista High School is home to the Eagle News Network, a student-led, live weekly broadcast. Under Mrs. Torres’ leadership, students research, write, film, and produce segments, developing communication, collaboration, and technical media skills. This program not only strengthens students’ voices but also fosters critical thinking and professionalism—key qualities for success in today’s fast-paced media landscape.
Through these innovative learning opportunities, Buena Vista High School demonstrates a deep investment in student success. By providing industry-relevant experiences, the school ensures that graduates are well-equipped to navigate future career paths with confidence and creativity. As students step into the world beyond high school, they carry with them not just a diploma, but real-world skills that set them apart.
