A few images from the start of the College and Career Fair today!





Thank you to our students for their excellent behavior during the college and career fair. Many of the representatives commented on how polite you were and how nice it was to have conversations with you. It's so awesome to hear that other people see the best in our kids! Thanks to Mrs. Granger-Bettis and the FCCLA students who helped with the hospitality baking, set-up, and service. And, thank you to my greeters who assisted in many ways before, during, and after the fair. You kids are awesome! And, thanks to the custodians for setting the FEMA up and breaking it all down. We have the greatest custodial staff ever!

Thank you to Jerry Granger and our bus drivers for making sure our students are riding on the safest buses possible!
