More than 300 high school students attended the City of Hillsboro's fourth
annual Youth Invasion career exploration event. Students attended a general session in the morning, and then participated in three rotations where they were able to get more information about specific careers with the City, such as maintenance and trades, information technology, health and recreation, Police and Fire, and much more. We are very grateful to our partners at the City of Hillsboro for hosting this valuable event for our students. Click here to watch a short video.

These activities are designed to both promote awareness among students and families about various opportunities, and to provide support in filling out FAFSA and/or college applications. The OregonGoesToCollege website provides many great resources, including "It's a Plan" checklists based on a student's grade level. For more information or to receive assistance, please contact the counseling office at your student's school.
