R.C. Murphy Junior High School students recently participated in a College and Career Week that was conducted at that school by the guidance department.
The goal of the week was to help students explore postsecondary options and bring awareness to the importance of education and choosing the right career. During the program, students dressed up to celebrate various colleges and careers, completed an “all about me” teacher scavenger hunt to learn about the various paths to one’s career, viewed virtual career videos recorded by parents/guardians and district staff and toured colleges virtually.
Additionally, Marie Parziale, a career coach from Stony Brook University, conducted a career interest inventory with students and talked about the importance of exploring their interests. Students learned about résumé writing and postsecondary options through in-classroom activities.
