Dear ARHS families,
This week, we hosted a Career Awareness Event for our entire junior class, providing 280 students the opportunity to learn from a diverse group of professionals representing 14 industries. Students selected three sessions based on their interests, allowing for a personalized and engaging experience. The group included alumni, community members, parents, mentors, town employees, and friends of our faculty and staff. Among other things, they shared their career journeys, helping students to understand more about their own potential career pathways.
Congrats to Michelle Kaelin, who oversees our career explorations program, for pulling it together! And, a special thank you goes out to our student volunteers, many of whom have participated in or will soon begin internships through our new program, for their leadership and support throughout the event. This event was part of a larger effort we have undertaken to strengthen students' understanding of the many and varied careers available to them, helping them to make choices about their classes and, possibly, what they may study after high school.
Sincerely, Sean Bevan |
