Almost 40 college, military and business representatives provided displays, discussions and information for students and the community at the Coosa County Schools annual College and Career Fair.

Many representatives brought interactive displays which allowed the students and other attendees to test their skill aptitude in particular career fields. The entire student body of the high school attended the fair, as well as members from the community.

Upon returning to class the students were abuzz with talk of jobs, military careers and college opportunities, as well as the connections they made with local businesses, military recruiters and college representatives.

Thank you to Central High School counselor Misty Wade, Coosa County Schools Career Coach Keslie Garrett and Coosa County Career Tech Center director Hesty Hamby who worked collaboratively to make the event a success.
