High School students participated in a Career & Pathways Exploration Fair upon returning back to school for the semester!

Our high school began with a morning focused on life beyond graduation. Students explored future pathways through engaging conversations with guest speakers, local businesses, and alumni who shared their experiences and insights. It was an inspiring start to 2nd semester, helping students see the many paths their futures may hold!

Thank you to all that participated in making it an amazing day for our students at the high school!
