NSHS Career Fair Fall 2015
On October 7th North Smithfield High School hosted a career fair for all students in grades 11 and 12. Over 30 representatives from different career fields attended and spoke to our students in 3 breakout sessions of 25 minutes each where students attended sessions of their choice. Both students and presenters were surveyed to understand how to make this event better in the future. Plans are underway to host the same event in the spring for students in grades 9/10. Many thank to Mr. Dennis Ballou, NSHS School to Work Coordinator, and the faculty for helping make this a great event.
