Parenting with Passion
Hello and welcome to Parenting with Passion! I'm your host, Cecilia Holguin, and I work in the Student Services branch of the San Bernardino County Superintendent of Schools. This podcast is uniquely designed to provide real conversations about the challenges of parenting while providing real solutions.
Parenting doesn't come with a user manual on how to handle difficult behaviors, or how to navigate school support, especially for students in alternative education and special education. This podcast gives families a platform to share their experiences, speak with experts, and overall empower families.
We ask the tough questions so you don't have to! Each month offers a new topic. We hope you enjoy and share Parenting with Passion!!

Beyond the Diploma: Guiding Students Toward Meaningful
In this episode, Cecilia Holguin, Family Engagement Manager for San Bernardino County, joins academic counselor Christy Rodriguez and college and career program manager Sergio Flores to explore the many paths available to students after high school. They discuss how parental involvement plays a critical role in helping students navigate uncertainty about their future. From community colleges and trade schools to apprenticeships and dual enrollment opportunities, the conversation highlights practical alternatives to traditional four-year universities. The trio also breaks down the importance of and updates to the financial aid processes like FAFSA (opening October 1) and the value of Career Technical Education (CTE) in helping students align their strengths with real-world opportunities.
