This week in College & Careers, our focus has been on the employability skills of Collaboration and Citizenship. We would like to extend a sincere thank you to Sheriff Andy Hires and City Clerk Kelsie Sterchi for welcoming our students to the Richland County Sheriff’s Department and Olney City Hall. Their willingness to share their time, experiences, and insights helped our students see firsthand how collaboration and citizenship play an essential role in the workplace and in serving our community. We are grateful for community partners who invest in our students and help connect classroom learning to real-world experiences.
