Families of students in grades seven and eight and community members are encouraged to attend, the district noted.
"Postsecondary planning is intentional at Salina Public Schools (SPS). Career interests and exploration begins in elementary school. Middle school students create electronic portfolios in Xello that they revisit and refine throughout high school. CTE opportunities include expanded pathways and industry-recognized credential options. State-of-the-art CTE facilities at our high schools include A/V production, construction, culinary arts, drafting, nursing and welding," USD 305 noted in a news release this morning.
"One size does not fit all and we know that having many choices is important. Choices at SPS include earning a credential or associate’s degree, completing a CTE pathway, preparing for college or university or preparing to enter the workforce or military," the district noted.
