Each student at Butler County High School got a taste of what their future may hold when they attended Career Day last Wednesday. Students sat through two sessions hearing from individuals working in 54 different fields ranging from military to art teacher to mortician.

Karla Coles, coordinator of the event, said, "Our Career Day falls in conjunction with Operation Preparation, a statewide college/career-readiness initiative. Career Day is the one big event where students get to hear two thirty minute presentations of their choice in a field they are interested in."
