CREW exists to help students who may not have set a career or educational plan after high school graduation. Upon arrival at the event, students will attend their choice of three (of the 14) career cluster informational presentations delivered by a business or training partner associated with that industry.

In the second half of the day, students are provided the opportunity to attend Post-Secondary Expo attended by many schools, training centers, employers, and military recruiters as well as an employability skills session which will focus on different topics each year.

This helps students make connections and possible decisions as they approach graduation and provides them with job skills that are coming directly from industry professionals.

Interested students should complete the attached form and return to Mr. Shearer by Feb. 21, 2025. Printed copies of the form are outside of Mr. Shearer's office.

Students entering 11th and 12th grade have an opportunity to apply for York County School of Technology Flex Tech Programs.
