        2023 Pasadena Unified Graduates Destinations Map

      A map with flags of PUSDA couple of years ago, Pasadena Unified School District (PUSD) began listing on its website the names of the great colleges its graduates were accepted to each year.

      By Diane Orona

      At PUSD’s “Class of 2023” page, one can read about the outstanding valedictorians and salutatorians of PUSD’s high schools and where the Class of 2023 are headed to this fall for their college careers. For the third year in a row, Pasadena Educational Foundation (PEF) staff have converted this information into a map which accompanies this article, so one can really “see” that PUSD grads attend great colleges throughout the state, the country, and internationally.

      Note: This year, PUSD alums who performed in the All-Star Musical performance of Into the Woods are getting the chance to deepen their skills in the arts and beyond at schools across the country. In fact, two of the stars of Into the Woods received scholarships to attend Hussian College in Los Angeles after a talent scout saw their performances.
