Students at NJSHS were recently able to catch a glimpse at their possible futures. The Career Day event, held every three years, fills the classrooms with trained professionals in a vast array of areas ranging from law enforcement to pet grooming. As a supervisor, I immediately noticed that the students observing these presenters were not only respectful and attentive, but genuinely interested in the material being presented. It was more than a break from normal classroom activities; it was a chance to begin brainstorming the possible road ahead. While some students may believe that they are too young to begin the process of selecting a career, Mrs. Erin Eddinger strongly disagrees. After the event, she reflected, “It’s never too early to start planning. Most people change their minds about their career several times and it is helpful to have as much information as possible.” Further, she is particularly proud of the fact that many of the presenters are former Neoga students. Mrs Eddinger worked closely with the following committee members in order to ensure that everything ran smoothly: Marty Gibson, Tracy Wright, Jennifer Bridges, Jay Ballard, Jason Hanson, Amy Brown, Mike Snyder, Sheri Schafer, and Principal Ben Johnson. The students and staff of NJSHS would like to sincerely thank the Career Day committee for all of their hard work on this successful endeavor!
