This week Tuesday, the Heartland Junior class attended a Career Day in Exeter Milligan. The goal of this day was for Juniors to start thinking seriously about their next step after high school and to receive information on various “adulting” topics. Sessions were offered on “test prep,” “getting into college,” “money matters,” and “personal safety” to mention a few. Twenty four colleges, job sites and other post-graduate options were represented at the Career Day.
Seventeen students attended a Future Business Leaders of America Business Competition at Peru State College on Wednesday. Results from the competition included: Odessa Ohrt received 1st place in Business Law, Grace Janzen received 3rd place in Business Law, and Kale Wetjen placed 4th in Accounting I. Congratulations to these students.
