The 11th grade class attended the annual College Fair hosted by LRSC. Over 35 colleges, military recruiters, and sponsoring employers were in attendance. More than 250 students from across the region, including Pembina to Rugby, took part. Our students connected with employers, explored college majors, and discovered schools they hadn’t considered before.
