Big news for Bearcat families: Paso Robles High School just got the green light from the U.S. Army to launch the county's first JROTC program. That's a first for all of SLO County, and it means local students won't have to look elsewhere for leadership training, drill team, and that sense of belonging that comes with the corps.
The school board also heard updates on the Culinary Academy café and the Chiado scholarship fund — signs that PRHS keeps widening the paths available to our kids, whether they're headed to a kitchen, a college, or a career. As the Paso Robles Daily News reported, this approval is the start of a process, so expect details on sign-ups and staffing to roll out over the coming months.
If you've got a Bearcat at home, keep an eye on school announcements. It's a proud day for Paso Robles — and another reason this town feels like a place where kids can grow into their next chapter.

Paso RoblesObituary of Adolfo Holguin Pichardo, 69, of Paso Robles
Some news just stops you in your tracks, and this is one of them. Adolfo Holguin Pichardo, 69, of Paso Robles, passed away on Oct. 7 — and our hearts go out to his family and everyone here in town who knew him. He was born in Berrendos, Zacatecas, back in 1956, and made his way to Paso Robles, where he built a life and became part of the fabric of our community. That journey — from a small town in Mexico to the Central Coast — is one so many of our neighbors know firsthand, and it's what makes stories like Adolfo's worth pausing for. The Paso Robles Daily News shared his obituary this week. Take a moment to read it, and if you knew him, maybe share a memory with his family. In a town like ours, that's how we honor our own.
Paso RoblesHave something to say? Write a letter to the editor
Here's your chance to sound off, Paso Robles. The Paso Robles Daily News is opening up its opinion section and inviting readers to send in letters to the editor — and honestly, that's an invitation worth taking. Our town has plenty to talk about these days: growth on the north side, water, traffic on Spring Street, what downtown should look like in ten years. Council meetings only give you three minutes at the mic, but a letter lets you lay out your whole argument, calmly and on the record. You don't need to be a polished writer. You just need to care about this place. So if something's been bugging you — or something's going right and nobody's noticed — write it down and send it in. Local papers run on letters from neighbors like us.
Paso RoblesPlanning commission to weigh apartment extension, spaceport update
Heads up, Paso folks — the Planning Commission meets soon to weigh a two-year extension on a 135-unit apartment project, plus a spaceport update and a 4-H livestock permit on Walnut Drive. That's a full plate for one evening. The apartment extension matters most for our housing crunch. Paso has been growing fast, and every delay on units like these keeps rents tight and commutes long for folks who work here but can't find a place to live. The spaceport item is a different flavor of local news — a reminder that the North County's aerospace ambitions are still quietly moving forward. And the 4-H permit? That's pure Paso. Kids raising livestock on Walnut Drive is the kind of small-town thread that keeps our ag roots woven into everyday life. The Paso Robles Daily News has the full rundown — worth a look before the meeting.
