Testimonial

"Magnolia Heating and Cooling has proudly partnered with RUSD since 2019. We began by visiting Ramona High School’s Construction class to introduce students to the HVAC trade and the growing demand for future technicians.

In 2021, we built a classroom at our office and launched a 4-week program for Ramona students, giving them hands-on exposure to HVAC and a clear look at a potential career path. Our goal is to expand this opportunity to students across the entire district through an introductory 1-day class with hands-on labs.

We’re proud to support RUSD in preparing students for rewarding careers in the skilled trades."

Testimonial

"Partnering with Riverside Unified School District has been a truly rewarding experience for our team. Hosting students at our facility allows us to share not only the excitement of digital printing, but also the full journey from concept to finished product. During each tour, we walk students through the pre-press stage—showing them how files are prepared and set up for production—before moving into the technical side of ripping files and sending them to our large format printers.

What makes the experience especially impactful is seeing their reactions as we bring the process to life. From watching high-tech equipment in action to stepping into the fabrication area, students get a hands-on view of how creativity, technology, and craftsmanship come together in the real world.

We value the opportunity to inspire the next generation by connecting classroom learning to real-world applications, and we’re proud to be a partner in RUSD’s efforts to prepare students for future careers."
