On Friday, September 18, over 30 FHS students attended CareerQuest at Riverland Community College in Austin. Students spent time with interactive activities and learned more about post-secondary programs and career opportunities. Some of the activities students participated in included: driving a combine simulator, wearing police gear, wearing medical scrubs, investigating a crime scene, and doing the Junior Achievement Dream Accelerator simulation.
