“What do you want to be when you grow up?” is a hard question when you haven’t seen the possibilities yet.

That’s what Career Quest is for. Over the past two days, seventh graders explored careers through hands-on activities and conversations with local employers. Sometimes one conversation is all it takes to discover a path you hadn’t imagined.

Thank you to the businesses, schools, volunteers, and partners who helped students picture their futures right here in our region. And to every student who showed up curious: keep asking questions.
