Intro to Health Careers were provided the opportunity to learn all about the career of being an athletic trainer by our very own Bree Arensdorf. Students got to try out some of her tools as well as have a little competition to see who was better at taping an ankle, the girls team won by the way!










Work-Based Learning in Action!
In Mrs. George’s Work-Based Learning class, students have been building essential career skills by creating cover letters, resumes, and participating in mock job interviews.
We were excited to welcome Maquoketa State Bank into the classroom, where representatives interviewed students for a career of their choice and then went a step further by creating personalized career profiles. These profiles helped students simulate a real-world budget scenario based on their future career path—bringing learning to life in a meaningful and practical way.
Thank you to Maquoketa State Bank for your continued partnership and commitment to helping our students prepare for a successful future!
