There is a career fair this Friday that has been planned by our JMG class. Students will attend their normal classes and you will have a career speaker in each of your classrooms. If you are dual enrolled and you want to be able to hear a career speaker during your dual enrollment time, come to the main office to pick up a schedule. If you attend the tech center and you want to stay for the fair since we do not provide transportation to the s=center on half days, you can also pick up a schedule in the office and stay for the career fair.

Pledge of Allegiance
At this time, please stand. The privilege of this day is made possible by those who have fought and continue to fight for the freedoms we enjoy. Please place your right hand over your heart and remove your hat if you are wearing one.
“I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands; one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.”
Those are all of our announcements for today. Have a great day… or not, Panthers—the choice is yours.
