St. Thomas More School's Eighth Annual Career Day Enlightens Students
For the eighth consecutive year, a diverse line-up of parents, past parents, alumni and community members came to St. Thomas More to participate in Career Day. On March 13th, the 25 presenters visited classrooms and spoke to the students about their careers.
After a brief breakfast gathering and orientation, the presenters were off to their assigned classrooms. Many spoke about choosing a career path and how to prepare for a career in their field, while others wanted to hear from the students about their college plans and career goals. Presenters spoke openly about their jobs, discussing their challenges and struggles, but also the rewards. They encouraged the students to ask questions and engage in conversation. It was evident that they love what they do for a living and therefore were eager to share their experiences with the students.
