This outstanding event happens ​with the collaboration of Citrus County Education Foundation, Junior Achievement and LHS Administrator Shawyn Newman.

This event is an outstanding opportunity for both s16463025_10154795968791259_1422297965344134023_otudents, business and post-secondary schools to connect.  Business, and schools setup booths and bring their staff to talk to students about college and career opportunities.

Many of our Citrus county high school students already have career and technical certifications. Each school year Citrus county high school students take industry courses and certification exams and received approximately 500 certifications each school year.  This helps students in their post high school careers and provides students with opportunities to go directly into the workforce or help them pay for their post-secondary education.

Plans are underway for next year’s County High School Student College & Career Fair 2018.  Cannot wait to see how this great event continues to grow!

  • Certified Nursing Assistant -State of Florida
