We had a great day at our High School Career Fair!
With 32 businesses in attendance and 4 career presentations, our students were able to explore a wide variety of career paths and hear directly from professionals about what it takes to enter and succeed in different industries. And the benefits of working in those fields. From skilled trades and healthcare to finance, agriculture, military and more, it was a strong mixture of opportunities for our students to learn from.
While we were thrilled with the turnout and diversity of careers represented, we would look to grow and would love to see even more businesses involved in the future.
A huge thank you to IowaWorks for reaching out and helping in setting it up and to the businesses and professionals who took time out of their busy schedules to invest in our students. We truly appreciate your flexibility, your willingness to share your experiences, and your commitment to helping students better understand their futures.
We also want to recognize our staff for their work behind the scenes and their flexibility in making this event possible. It takes a team effort to create meaningful experiences like this for our students.

🎭 Our 7th Grade Theatre Hex Students Take the Stage! 🎭
Students in 7th grade Theatre Hex have been busy building their acting skills over the past six weeks! They’ve explored the parts of the stage, learned about different types of roles, and practiced key performance strategies.
