PRLHS readies for annual Career Day

PRIEST RIVER — Area high school students will get to learn a little more about possible careers — and get to hear firsthand from former Priest River Lamanna High School students about their experiences in the workforce.

Speaking at the high school's annual Career Day on March 14 will be Jon Welch, Class of 2001, who works as a wildlife biologist; Jennifer Cork, Class of 1997, who is a doctoral of social work candidate; and Kevin Behnke, Class of 1998, who works as an international pilot for Atlas Air.

The day will begin at 7:30 a.m. where presenters will be welcomed with a continental breakfast before picking up name tags and room assignments. Students will start the day in their normal first-period class, watch a Ted Talk video, and go over expectations and schedules.
