Her journey has been nothing short of inspiring, and her commitment to education, workforce development, and community building shines brightly. Kelli's deep-rooted passion for rebuilding her hometown, Paradise, California, after the devastating Camp Fire in 2018, has led her to this remarkable achievement. Her journey began as a dedicated educator, where she played a pivotal role in founding, teaching, and leading middle and high school programs within her community. Kelli then broadened her influence by working at the Butte County Office of Education, focusing on vital areas like Career Technical Education and Alternative Education. She is dedicated to bridging the education-to-workforce gap, aiming to align our current economy's needs with the aspirations of younger generations. Kelli's journey exemplifies the power of dedication, resilience, and a deep-seated commitment to making a positive impact. We are immensely proud of her accomplishments and are excited to see her continue to shape the future of education at Paradise High School.

Entrepreneurship Camp Student Makes a Splash
In preparation for the Biz Kidz Showcase in Chico, California, young entrepreneur Brynlie Homesley received invaluable guidance and inspiration from our Entrepreneurship Camp class instructor (and her grandmother) Anita Homesley. As a 10-year-old resident of Chico, about to enter fifth grade at Marigold Elementary School, Brynlie decided to showcase her talent by creating custom jewelry, earrings, and artistically designed buttons under her business, "Brynlie's Buttons." Brynlie's creations proved to be a hit at the showcase, earning her $254 in receipts for the day. Encouraged by her grandmother, Brynlie now plans to take her products to the Thursday Night Market downtown. With Anita Homesley's guidance, young entrepreneurs like Brynlie demonstrated their potential to become successful and innovative leaders in the future business ecosystem of Chico!
