This Thursday, Jan 16 from 6 - 8 p.m., Laurel High School will be holding its first College, Career, and Community Resource Fair. It’s free to the public and designed to help all high school students (whether going to LHS or other) to explore colleges, careers, and resources (like applying for scholarships) specially designed for them as they discern their path approaching the new chapters of their life.

I was pleased to play a small role last fall in the planning at the time I was a member of the City’s Education Advisory Committee (including some great new apprenticeship and other career resources), and it was great to see the energy and enthusiasm of the LHS staff members putting on the event, including Mrs. Rachel Mitchell.

Please be sure to pass word to any high school students in the area to encourage them to attend as I can guarantee they’ll come across something of interest or help to them – It’s often experiences like these that can help make a contact or discover something new that really makes a difference in a student finding a great path ahead!
