As a part of College and Career Week WJHS students had the chance to meet local vendors during our very own "Career Fair" - where they learned all about what each organization/company does for the community. We had many students browsing and inquiring, feeling inspired for their futures. Can you guess which was the most popular booth? ... It was Waterford Pet Hospital who had a great display and even brought in two furry visitors.
Thanks Mr. Kevin for collaborating such a successful event!
This week is College & Career Week where our students are given opportunities to explore their career aspirations, learn about different educational pathways, and connect with local employers.
