Career Day Speakers Needed
We are looking for a variety of people interested in spending a day talking to our students about their career. Many of our students are unaware of the career opportunities available to them, and this is a fantastic way to provide them with first-hand knowledge of potential career paths.
We would love to have you or someone you know who would be interested for the whole day, but arrangements can be made for half-day participation. If you have any questions or would like to get further information please contact a counselor, Jennifer Douglas or Lindsay Cottle, at 817-299-2700.
