Principal of Staunton River High School, Darcy Parker, shared, “Recognizing the employment challenges faced by many of our recent graduates, we felt it was important to create a convenient and meaningful opportunity for them—alongside our current students and community members—to connect with local employers. There has not been a career fair hosted directly in our immediate area, and we saw a clear need to bring these opportunities closer to home.”

Attendees are encouraged to bring multiple copies of their resumes. Businesses participating in the Job Fair will be listed on the Facebook event page. Food trucks will also be on site.
