Career Day Inc. Brings Real-World Learning to WH Secondary
Today, @wh_secondary hosted an inspiring Career Day Inc. program that connected our 8th- and 10th-grade students with seven accomplished professionals from diverse industries.
More Than a Presentation—An Experience
This wasn't a typical career day. Students took center stage, asking thought-provoking questions about career paths, industry trends, and what the future holds in various fields. Questions like "What is the future of your industry in the next ten years?" sparked engaging conversations that gave our students real insight into professional life.
Students who posed the most insightful questions were invited to an exclusive reception, where they continued their conversations with guest speakers in a more intimate setting—creating meaningful connections that extend beyond the school day.
Building Confidence Through Connection
Career Day Inc. partners with schools to change the lives of young adults by introducing students to the diverse paths professionals have taken to reach their career goals. Their philosophy is clear: when students hear information directly from professionals about their experiences, it can significantly impact their confidence, direction, and long-term success.
The program emphasizes setting goals and leveraging education to achieve aspirations, while creating an environment of acceptance and opportunity for all students at every academic level.

STEMposium Showcase: Secondary School Students Shine in Science & Engineering
WHe are thrilled to share the remarkable success of our recent STEMposium at the Secondary School. This inspiring event showcased the incredible talent and dedication of our students in Science 7 and 8 classes, including Living Environment, Earth Science, Chemistry, and Physics.
Authentic Learning in Action
Over the past months, students immersed themselves in authentic scientific inquiry, choosing to pursue either the scientific method or engineering design pathway. Their commitment to developing engineering prototypes and research-based conclusions demonstrated the depth of learning happening in our classrooms every day.
A Community Celebration
The presentations delivered to families, staff, and administrators were truly impressive, reflecting not only our students' scientific knowledge but also their communication skills and creative problem-solving abilities. It was inspiring to see our young scientists and engineers confidently share their work with our community.
Gratitude & Recognition
WHe want to thank our science teachers for their guidance throughout this process, our families for their support, and most importantly, our students for their hard work and enthusiasm. Events like the STEMposium embody our commitment to providing hands-on, meaningful learning experiences that prepare our students for future success.
Congratulations to all participants and award recipients! #WHeRiseTogether 🖤💛
