Career Day:
We are planning our Career Day in Spring 2026 with our 3rd and 7th grade students! Career exploration promotes self-awareness and allows students to learn about their abilities, interests, and strengths. We are looking for volunteers to share about their careers! Presenters would be expected to give a 20-25 minute presentation to two to three groups of students at our K-8 campus. If you or someone you know has an awesome career and would be interested in sharing about it with our students, please CLICK HERE to express interest and our counselors will reach out to you. Expressed interest does not commit you to speaking at Career Day – we are gathering interest first! Thank you all for your support!
