STE. GENEVIEVE – Local businesses are invited to participate in the 2023-2024 College & Career Information Event at the Ste. Genevieve High School Peggy J. Johnson Gymnasium on Thursday, Oct. 26, 2023.
New this year, freshmen and sophomores will also have the opportunity to participate in the event. Each high school student will be able to explore a broad range of possible pathways through meeting career and postsecondary representatives.
Set-Up for Colleges & Businesses:
- 10 – 10:30 a.m.
Student Sessions:
- 11 – 11:45 a.m. (9th and 10th grade students)
- 11:50 a.m. – 1 p.m. (11th and 12th grade students)
“While many of our students go on to college or to join the military after graduation, we also have a good percentage of students who immediately join the workforce, building their skill sets as they go, and creating a career in this way,” high school counselor Russ Toombs said. “We are always looking for ways to show our students all of the opportunities afforded to them.”
College and local business representatives who plan to attend must bring a driver’s license or photo ID to sign into the high school’s visitor management system. In order to protect the gymnasium floor, we ask that participants refrain from wearing heels.
The Ste. Genevieve County R-II School District has strong ties with local businesses in the community, whether it be through volunteerism, donations and philanthropy, student internships and work programs, or collaboration through community projects. The district would like to invite any business interested in participating to contact Stephanie Brumfield in the high school’s counseling office by Oct. 16 at 573-883-4500 ext. 2104 or at sbrumfield@sgdragons.org.
