College & Career Fair
We will be hosting our annual College & Career Fair on Friday, March 21st. We have roughly 115 vendors participating in the event this year. Many of these vendors will be promoting volunteer, internship, and career opportunities that are available to our students within their organization. This is a great opportunity to network with members of our community.
All students will be called down by grade level and have an opportunity to attend the fair. Posters with QR codes will be hanging in the upstairs and downstairs hallways leading to the gym. This code will take students to a College & Career vendor map and assignment. Students will be able to navigate the floor plan using this QR code and access the curriculum assignment. Those who fully complete the assignment will be awarded a PE make-up class.
We are looking forward to an amazing event!
