March 5, from 9am to 1pm, at Mountain View high school, experts from different colleges and professions came together to give people opportunities that they wouldn’t have anywhere else. The College and Career Fair gave kids chances to possibly strike a job or find out what they want to do with their life.
At 9am the doors opened, and people were invited into the school to explore all of the different booths and activities. The first thing a student had to accomplish however was to scan a QR code or fill out a form which asked, “what’s your name, what school do you go to, and do you understand that you can excuse 2 tardies from this event”.
Once a student made it past the front tables, grabbed a tardy excusal sheet and questions to ask the professionals, everything was open to visitors. Around 100 booths were spread out around the school ranging from small colleges to the Marines and everything in between. Jayden Yun from Renaissance Highschool explored the school, “I’ve been to a lot of booths.” Each table had something unique. For example, many of the career stands had candies and items associated with that profession but many of the college stands had merchandise that depicted their logo.
To be able to excuse 2 tardies, the sheet had to have 4 stamps on it from each booth`s expert that you asked 3 questions. When finished wandering around booths, a popular choice was to eat at one of the varieties of food trucks parked outside the front doors. Hawaiian food, burgers, corndogs, ice cream, etc. all these options were available. Not hungry? A student could have also gone to the snowplow simulator that tested your driving skills in diverse scenarios. Overall, the College and Career fair was very successful, and Harrison Perkins from Renaissance Highschool agrees, “I think it’s going well, there`s lots of people here, and all the people at the booths are doing really well delivering their information.”

I wish I could’ve went, I’m a freshmen and is trying to find a collage (because my family is very strict and want me to find a collage early). Anyway, it looks really cool, wished I went.

I went to the fair and I was able to learn about a lot of different schools and jobs that I could do. I got to see what different programs there were and what schools were known for. I was a really good thing to go to.

This article really describes the fair well and the point of why the kids were doing it. I also find it interesting that it explains how the students were able to get out of being tardy to class after attending.

I think that this is a really good way to explain what the fair was about to people who didn’t go, and maybe it will help them to go to more events in the future like this. I also like how you talked about a few of the different things that they had and some people who went to it.

I liked how the author basically walked us through the fair. They showed us what happened from the minute you walk in the doors and explained to us what was there and all the fun and interesting opportunities the students experienced.

This article was very helpful in telling people who were not able to go to the fair what happened in it and what it was for. All the detailed were nice because it was enough information to know wat it was about but not too much information that it was super boring to read.

This was an excellent insight on what happened and the fair is a really useful tool to decide where people want to go next.

This was some very good insight on the fair that happened. I think it’s very helpful that colleges and people from different career’s came together and gave kids a chance to see what they could possibly do with their life.

I liked this new report, it explained well what took place and what the fair was about. I thought it was cool that there were lots of booths that the students could go to and participate in.

I think it’s great to find a different hobby and see what you want to do in the future and find skills that you didn’t even know existed
Ashton V • Mar 31, 2025 at 9:19 am
I think this article is really cool and I like how it talk about what happened on March 5th, which seems really fun to do and participate in. I also think that it’s crazy that there were over 100 booths spread out across the school.

I think it’s good, it gives students a pre-view of what Carrer they would like to study and where they should study it. I did go to one of these fairs last year and they had so many options to choose from.
Martins Refbergs • Mar 28, 2025 at 1:21 pm
Thanks for informing us on the fair, from this article I learned that the fair went super well, and that people enjoyed it. Even though I didn’t go to it I might go next year, because your article intrigued me. Thank you!

Great Article! I loved the college fair, and I think that this article really showed the impotence of going to these kinds of events. Great article and great fair!
Kolbi Lemro • Mar 25, 2025 at 9:38 am
thank you for this article. I thought it was great that you added a person’s words and that they were from a different high school.
Porter Mendenhall • Mar 25, 2025 at 9:35 am
I didn’t even know there was a fair. Great article.
Devin Donnelly • Mar 25, 2025 at 9:27 am
Great article! It seemed like I missed out at the opportunity to explore a lot of careers. 100’s of booths seems insane. Must of been an exciting event!
Nathaniel, Barraza • Mar 25, 2025 at 9:23 am
This was a great article talking about how the fair was and what went on! I liked it personally; it was pretty good to scout out opportunity’s for later in my life!
SEBASTIAN CASTRO • Mar 25, 2025 at 9:19 am
