Our at Powell County High School, Kristina Hames, is excited to share what is happening at her school today! She writes:

🎓❤️🖤 Your Future Starts Here! 🖤❤️🎓

What an exciting day at Powell County High School!

Today, we had the opportunity to welcome colleges, universities, and other postsecondary representatives to our College Fair! Our students were able to explore different opportunities, ask questions, make connections, and take another step toward planning their futures!

As the Kentucky College Coach at PCHS, getting to help students discover their potential and see all the possibilities waiting for them is one of the most rewarding parts of my job. Whether their next step is college, technical school, or another career pathway, my goal is to help them find the future that’s right for them!

A HUGE thank you to all the representatives who took time out of their busy schedules to join us and invest in our students. Your support and encouragement mean so much!

And to our students, remember: Your dreams are worth chasing, your goals are within reach, and your future is full of possibilities!

Here’s to helping our Pirates turn their dreams into plans! 🏴‍☠️🎓
