🚀 New Career Navigator Program at Northwestern 🚀
We’re proud to announce a new partnership with the Greater Springfield Partnership that brings the services of Coach Ron Long and Mrs. Dara Errett to our district as Career Navigators! 🎉
This community-driven program gives students more opportunities to explore career pathways using YouScience—a fun, game-like assessment taken in grades 8 and 10 that helps uncover strengths, interests, and future possibilities.
Already this year, our Navigators have kicked things off with an inspiring Senior Signing Day. 💪 Seniors were invited to commit to the finish line—graduating with a plan for their next step:
✅ College Entrance
✅ Employment
✅ Enlistment
Students signed a giant banner that will hang in our halls as a daily reminder: What’s Your “E” Going to Be?
📘 Coach Long will continue working with seniors to help determine their “E,” while also meeting with all 8th and 10th graders as they begin planning for high school pathways, Career Tech opportunities, or College Credit Plus.
We’re excited to see how this partnership will open doors and empower our students to discover their best path forward! 🌟
