Husky Career Corner
Announcements & Links for Husky students & parents!
What is happening?
In the month of December, Freshman in English I completed a personality assessment and engaged in career exploration using Major Clarity. All freshman are encouraged to continue to explore career pathways in the website and look for courses that can prepare them for pathways that interest them. Any Freshman taking English I in the spring will complete this in February.
All Freshman will participate in our CTE Fair/Tour in February and March during advisory to learn more about our CTE program areas. Upperclassmen in CTE courses will be demonstrating their knowledge during the tour. You can find information HERE.
