The FFA chapter will be hosting a Career Day this year on Nov. 12th at MHS. This year, they are opening up the opportunity for businesses and organizations in the community to set up a job recruiting table. This will allow local businesses to network with students about career opportunities at their company. The FFA is also looking for community members who are interested in presenting to students about their careers. Some example presenters would be in the area of psychology, web design, forensic science, and CAD design, but others are appreciated as well!
