Springing forward into the future: Harrison Central College and Career Fair

Some South Mississippi high school students are springing forward with their plans after graduation, thanks to one school’s college and career fair today.
News 25’s Taylor Rubach stepped back in school today and has more on Harrison Central High School’s spring college and career fair.
The possibilities were endless at Harrison Central High School’s spring college and career fair as students and representatives from 35 businesses, the military, and colleges talked about possible career paths. Senior Savannah Steady already has a good idea about what direction she wants to take. “I was expecting to see the new colleges and see what I could get myself into because I’m looking to become a veterinarian and so I was really looking for all the different colleges that could help me out.”
This is one of two college and career fairs Harrison Central puts on each year. More than 800 students walked away from this fair now better equipped for the future. School Counselor Margaret Tucker said, “We have colleges here that offer admittance and scholarships on the spot. Very beneficial to our students.”
Not everyone is certain about what path they want to take, but tell News 25 after today they’ve narrowed down the field. Senior Noah Vance said, “It helps a lot of people having this many companies come to one area and help a lot of high school students. We’re not put out there that much to get a job. When they come to us and talk to us and help us out, it means a lot.”
