Students from Sto-Rox Jr./Sr. High School hit the road on Thursday for a trip to Woodland Hills School District to seek out their futures. Joe Herzing, School Counselor for Grades 10-12, led the Viking contingent to Woodland Hills High School in Churchill for a College and Career Fair. It wasn’t just Sto-Rox - students from Woodland Hills, East Allegheny, and Steel Valley also dropped by to check out the education and career opportunities on display.
The event was made possible thanks to DoD STEM, which offers the SMART Scholarship-for-Service Program. The program offers full tuition scholarships and a monthly stipend to students pursuing eligible STEM degrees at accredited universities. Those students are guaranteed employment with the Department of Defense as a civilian employee for four years after graduation. Along with the DoD STEM program, there were representatives from nearly 50 universities, trade schools, armed services, and employers in attendance.
