INAUGURAL COLLEGE AND
CAREER DAY A SUCCESS!
Thank you, students, and families, for your interest in and support of our recent College and Career Day. With the participation of over 75 businesses, organizations, colleges, and universities, as well as engaging breakout speakers and informative college and career tours, the event was a success for students and visitors alike. As we move forward, I encourage students to continue the conversation with their counselors for follow-up questions and discussions, and to engage in conversations at home around the various career paths and educational opportunities that interest them. Thank you again for your commitment to college, career, and life readiness.
