Sophomore
students at B.M.C.
Durfee High School and seventh graders from all four middle schools participated in the
third annual Career Day on March 12, 2014 in the school gymnasium. Students interviewed professionals
that they had pre-selected for five minutes each before getting
signed-off.
Three hours in the morning for the Sophomores and two hours after lunch for the middle
school students provided students with a highly interactive opportunity
to talk to more than dozens of adults in a variety of professions. Students were
challenged to speak to at least fifteen of them during each
50-minute period to learn about various careers and the requirements for
entering that field. Tina
Shorette of the Career Center's Youth Connection helped to put the annual
event together. Students who completed
all fifteen interviews were eligible to participate in a drawing for prizes.
