Perry High School will celebrate College & Career Week November 16-20 with a week full of activities designed to help students explore their options and prepare for life after graduation.
This year's theme, "Set Your Eyes on the Prize!", will feature daily spirit days, college and career exploration opportunities, contests, and prizes.
The week will kick off Monday, November 16, with College, Trade & Military Service Day. Students are encouraged to wear a shirt representing a college, trade, or military branch. Seniors will begin the morning with a senior breakfast, followed by a College & Military Service Fair for juniors and seniors.
Tuesday's theme is "Future's So Bright!" and students are encouraged to wear neon or bright colors. Seniors will also participate in OSU Reality Check, a mandatory activity designed to help them think about their financial future.
Wednesday, November 18, is "Out of Office" day, with students invited to wear vacation-themed or Hawaiian shirts. Seniors will also participate in Personal Financial Literacy activities.
Thursday is "Dress for Success" day, encouraging students to wear business-casual or professional attire. Juniors and seniors will have the opportunity to attend the Career Exploration Fair, and classroom doors decorated for the career-themed contest will be judged.
The week will wrap up Friday, November 20, with "Remember Your Roots!" day. Students are encouraged to show their Perry Maroons spirit. Seniors will conclude the week with a lunch, wrap-up activities, and giveaways.
Additional activities will take place throughout the week, including daily college and career trivia during fourth-hour announcements, a spirit week prize drawing for students who participate in the daily dress-up themes, and a classroom door decorating contest. Students will research careers connected to their second-hour class subjects and incorporate those careers into their classroom door designs.
Perry High School encourages all students to get involved, participate in the activities, and take advantage of the opportunities to explore their futures.
