Industry Partners and their colleagues play a crucial role in exposing our students to a variety of professions in order to provide a well-rounded understanding of the career options available to them post-high school. If you would like to speak to our students about your amazing profession, please check out previous presenters presentations and then fill out the interest from below. We cannot thank you enough for being willing to show our students what great professions we have represented both here in our community and abroad.
