Parents and community members will join San Diego Unified School District staff tomorrow in celebrating the official dedication of the new "Buc Café" at Mission Bay High School. After a short 15-minute ceremony, guests will be invited into the new student store for an "inside look" at how the store operates.
The "'Buc Café' for the Academy of Entrepreneurship," also known as the Mission Bay Magnet for Global Studies and Technology, provides high school students with the skills to successfully transition from school to career. Students who attend this academy are well-prepared to take advantage of internship opportunities within the large number of small businesses in the community. To increase its real-world focus, students in the Academy complete Virtual Enterprises, a course preparing them to function within the global economy and be responsible for the day-to-day operations of an on-site cafe.
The "Buc Café" is one of 15 College, Career & Technical Education facilities being constructed under the Proposition S (local) and Proposition 1D (state) bond programs. The 750-square-foot café represents a nearly $400,000 investment into Mission High School and the community.
On November 4, 2008, nearly 69 percent of the voters in San Diego passed the $2.1 billion general obligation bond measure, Proposition S, so that San Diego Unified School District (SDUSD) could repair, renovate and revitalize 181 schools.
Visuals: Speakers, ribbon-cutting ceremony, and inside look at the student store operations, students will be preparing for the lunch period
