8th Grade Career Fair

On October 29th, we held our 10th annual 8th Grade Career Fair. The purpose of the 8th Grade Career Fair was to introduce the 8th grade students to the wealth of career opportunities available within Grundy County; further, we desire to help steer students onto their future educational and professional paths through exploration of career and technical education. Students had the opportunity to interact with more than sixty local business representatives in order to gain invaluable insight into a wide variety of career opportunities. The teachers and students of the Grundy Area Vocational Center also presented our thirteen vocational programs and illustrate the necessity for secondary and post-secondary education and training.
