My Project

Join us for our Career Fair, an engaging and informal "trade show" style event where students rotate through various career exploration stations. This dynamic format not only piques students' interest but also brings excitement as they interact with professionals from diverse fields. Witnessing their enthusiasm is truly rewarding and reinforces our commitment to equipping them with the knowledge and skills necessary for their future endeavors.

Our Career Technical Education (CTE) Pathways play a pivotal role in preparing students for postsecondary opportunities.

Through these pathways, we explicitly teach essential career exploration techniques, leadership skills, and professional standards. We believe that every student should graduate with a clear understanding of their potential and a strong commitment to achieving their postsecondary goals. Students will realize their inherent value and worth as collaborative members of their postsecondary communities; the event reflects our dedication to nurturing their growth as responsible and engaged individuals.

These events, ensure that our students are well-prepared for the challenges of the future and are able to confidently pursue their aspirations. Thank you for supporting our efforts and helping us create a pathway to success for our students!
