The KPBSD College and Career Fair that was held at Sohi on October 17th was a huge success. Homer High School sent over 90 students to visit 50+ vendors and colleges. HHS students got to talk to some quality institutions, get information about enrollment, programs offered and costs to attend. They also got to ask questions to discover if the institution would be a good fit for them. This was a great opportunity for students to start discovering or narrowing down colleges they may want to attend.

Of the 50+ colleges represented there, Homer High School students are currently attending 20 of them.

While only juniors and seniors were invited to attend the fair, students who stayed at HHS got to investigate local careers. Fifteen members of the community presented about their professions during FOL. Students got to hear about graphic arts, practicing law, city management and more. All the presentations are listed below:

• U.S. Fish and Wildlife, Mr. Arthur Kettle
  
• Athletic Director, Mr. Christopher Perk
  
• Twitter Creek Gardens, Ms. Emily Garrity
  
• Graphic Arts, Ms. Nina Lisowski
  
• Practicing Law, Ms. Ginny Espenshade
  
• Fire Department, Asst. Chief Terry Kadel
  
• Police Department, Sergeant Ryan Browning
  
• City Management, Kathy Koester
  
• News and communications, Ms. Megan Pace, and Mr. Michael Armstrong
  
• Mermaid Café and Bisto, Mr. Evan Vogyl and his Chef
