On Wednesday, April 10th at 9am Rockland High School will host a STEM Career Panel.

We will have representatives come in from various STEM professions such as Civil and Software Engineering, Technology, Banking, Accounting, BioChemistry, Medical and more. These representatives will talk to students about what it is like to work in these fields, what an average day looks like, the benefits of getting to these careers and what they like about their jobs.

Any student who is interested in a career in the STEM field should attend this event.

Please fill out this google form to sign up. You will be excused from class to attend this presentation. It will be in the Lecture Hall and an ehall pass will be sent for you.
