2012 Career Expo
The 2012 Career Expo, sponsored by the Memphis City School Division of Careers and Technology, was a huge success. Every high school in the district was represented and was provided the opportunity to explore post-secondary options. Students wore their best clothes and met with college recruiters and military recruiters. MLK was represented at this event, as well. The Professional School Counselor and teachers spent weeks prior to the Career Expo explaining the importance of obtaining information from recruiters and taking advantage of opportunities where multiple recruiters are in one location. The trip was chaperoned by Ms. Christie Jones and Dr. Jeffrey Taylor. The students did their job by taking full advantage of the event and speaking with variety of recruiters present. Recruiters represented colleges and universities throughout the Mid South and beyond. Military recruiters were also present. Other agencies such as the U.S. Department of Education, representatives from the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), ACT, and the College Board were present, as well. The students returned to MLK with bags full of information. We would like to thank Ms. Willie Slate and the Division of Careers and Technology for providing this wonderful opportunity!
