Work-Based Learning Students
Three workers wearing blue hard hats and bright yellow safety vests stand together at an outdoor industrial facility. One person gestures with both hands while speaking, and the other two listen closely. They stand on metal grating surrounded by pipes and large cylindrical equipment, with trees visible in the background under bright sunlight.

Long Beach High School seniors Shackeam Donaldson and Neveah Smith, both enrolled in the H2O program, visited the H2O Wastewater Treatment Plant on Friday, August 21. As part of this hands‑on career pathway, students rotate through each treatment facility every Friday, gaining real‑world experience in water management, environmental safety, and plant operations.

Throughout the yearlong program, participants learn directly from industry professionals, build technical skills, and develop a deep understanding of how wastewater treatment protects community health and natural resources. Upon successful completion of the program, students will earn certification as wastewater treatment operators, opening doors to high‑demand careers across Mississippi and beyond.

This partnership highlights Long Beach School District’s commitment to providing meaningful, career‑ready learning experiences that empower students to serve their community with knowledge, skill, and purpose.

Bearcats continue to rise—on campus, in the community, and in every industry they explore.

READY TO BUILD, CODE & COMPETE?
A futuristic robotics club poster features a dark blue and teal circuit-board background with glowing binary code. Centered at the top is the text “[LBSD] Robotics Club” followed by “Grades 3–12” and “Interest Form.” A large QR code labeled “Scan Me” sits on the right side. In the bottom left corner is the FIRST Robotics logo. On the right, a friendly cartoon robot smiles while holding a tablet, adding an inviting, kid‑friendly touch to the STEM-themed design.

Long Beach School District in partnership with FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition in Science and Technology) is gearing up for another exciting year of robotics! Students in grades 3–12 are invited to share their interest in joining one of our robotics clubs, with opportunities to compete at both the regional and state levels.

Proud Bearcat moment at War Memorial Park!
Today ada alt text Here’s clean, ADA-compliant alt text for your image—clear, concise, and focused on purpose and context. Alt Text: A group of five people work together outdoors to install a tall metal flag pole into the ground. They steady the pole and use tools while standing on a grassy area near a chain-link fence, with trees and a white vehicle in the background.

Long Beach High School CTE students put their skills to work this week, installing a new flagpole for the City of Long Beach. Under the guidance of their dedicated instructors, these students planned, prepared, and completed the installation—adding a meaningful and beautiful enhancement to one of our community’s most treasured spaces.

Superintendent Dr. Talia Lock praised the students’ efforts, sharing: “Our CTE students continue to show what it means to serve with pride and purpose. Their craftsmanship and willingness to support our city reflect the very best of Long Beach. We are incredibly proud of the work they’ve done to help beautify War Memorial Park.”

Thank you to our talented students, their instructors, and the City of Long Beach for this partnership that highlights the power of hands‑on learning and community service.

Bearcats make a difference—on campus and beyond.
