FCTC Tech Expo is Coming
The Dr. James A. Forrest Career & Technology Center will host its nineteenth annual Forrest Center Expo, Thursday, January17th between 5:30-8:00 p.m. at the Forrest Center directly across from the St. Mary’s County Fairgrounds in Leonardtown, Maryland.
The purpose of the Forrest Tech Center Expo is to familiarize students and parents with Career and Technology Education career options offered by the St. Mary’s County Public Schools. This is an opportunity to meet the staff at the Forrest Center and to learn about the 23 completer programs currently offered. Middle school and high school counselors will be available to answer questions about career clusters and to assist students in planning their academic program. Although students currently in middle school are not able to apply to the Forrest Center until their freshman year, we recommend that they attend the Expo so that they are well prepared to choose their Career Cluster in high school. The Forrest Center will provide a special presentation for parents to explain the registration process and how to incorporate Forrest Center programs into their student’s schedule.
For more details, contact the Dr. James A. Forrest Career & Technology Center at 301-475-0242. In the event of inclement weather, the alternate date for the Forrest Tech Center Expo will be Thursday, January 24, 2019 from 5:30-8:00. [GLE1]
