The William S. Hart Union High School District’s College and Career Fair and the Valley Industry Association’s Connecting to Success are both coming up next month. They aim to help students think about what comes next.

Some people know from an early age just what they want to do in life. Most of us need a little spark to get going in a certain direction.

Recently I overheard some graduating high school students talking about where they were going to college and what they’d be studying. I found myself in a cluster of engineering and science students at a high school band concert!
