Our Panthers have returned from our extraordinary HPU in the City program that took place over fall break, and we couldn’t be more proud!

This program sent students to Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas, and NYC. In these cities our students visited incredible organizations such as: Chick-fil-A, ABC Studios/GMA, Morgan Stanley, Gartner, the Chicago Bears, Goldman Sachs, MLB, Scotiabank, Ulta Beauty, Porsche Cars North America, Warner Bros. Discovery/Skydance and so many more!

Experiences like these bring classroom learning to life, build meaningful professional connections and help our students envision what’s possible for their futures!

A heartfelt thank you to our Panther Partners and participating companies for welcoming our students and investing in their futures. Your partnership makes extraordinary experiences like HPU in the City possible, and we couldn’t do it without you! 🐾

Our Fall, Life Skills Career Summit was earlier this week and was one for the books! We welcomed a record number of employers and students, creating an incredible day full of conversations, connections, and opportunities.

We couldn’t be more impressed by the professionalism, preparation, and confidence our students brought to the event. Seeing them put their career readiness skills into action and connect with employers is truly something to celebrate.

A huge thank you to all of the employers who joined us and invested their time in our students! We greatly appreciate our Panther Partners.

We’re already looking forward to doing it all again in the Spring. Until then, keep building those connections and chasing those opportunities! 🐾
