We love celebrating student success — and this moment truly stands out. Abigail Nueva, a phlebotomy student from Whittier Adult School, was recently honored with an Award of Merit by the Whittier Union High School District Board of Trustees. The recognition didn’t stop there. The board also gave a heartfelt shoutout to our instructor, Lavette Castellanos, and to CALRegional as a whole for the impact the program has made. We’re proud to partner with adult schools like Whittier to help students like Abigail take the first step toward a career in healthcare. Congratulations, Abigail! We can’t wait to see where your path takes you next. #HealthcareEducation #PhlebotomyTraining #CALRegional #StudentSuccess #InstructorAppreciation #WorkforceDevelopment #AdultEducation #SoCalEducation #CareerPathways
