Employer Visits

Each year our students inquire about employment opportunities that they can embark on after they graduate - prior to going to college, or the military and or during the school year as a part time job.  Some students also search for summer employment only or a full time job. To assist our students we will be asking area employers to visit the campus to inform the students of the application process, criteria, etc. to obtain employment with their company.  We hope this will help all students gain the financial edge that will assist them in accomplishing all of their future goals.

This year we will also be hosting our annual Career Fair to assist our seniors in obtaining employment after high school. This was a huge success last year we are very excited to host it again bigger and better than ever!

For more information regarding employer visits and the upcoming 2009 Career Fair please contact Ms. Gena Jones.
