DPS 8th Grade Career Fair
Wednesday 11/15 all BVIS 8th graders will be picked up via bus to travel to the DPS Career Fair in the afternoon after testing. Please call the main office with any further questions!
Eighth grade is a critical time when students begin making educational decisions that will impact their career opportunities for years to come. The Career Fair is set up to help students make these important decisions with the future in mind. They begin by interviewing career representatives in their area of interest to find out what post-secondary training or education they need for various careers. They end by learning about what high school programs or courses may help them prepare.
