Huge Success at the FFSD College & Career Fair
FFSD’s College & Career Fair had over 50 colleges, military, career, and trade options from near and far at McCluer. The district-wide fair was held in the HUB at the high school. Middle and high school students and families were able to speak to representatives regarding college options, career selection, job skills, training, education requirements, and more.
It’s never too early to begin thinking about what is next after high school ends. Thank you to everyone who helped make this event possible! Check out the photo gallery: https://bit.ly/3DGA9WV.
