Garden City High School is looking for individuals in our local business and industry community to join teachers in planning ways we can partner in providing career education opportunities to students.
Examples of these opportunities might include coming to a classroom to speak on a particular topic, hosting field trips, job shadowing days, internships, and work-based experience placements. We’re also looking for feedback on the details of our Career and Technical Education pathways and the certifications we offer. Anyone in our community with a job is invited!
