Yesterday, SJHS had an assembly to answer the infamous student question, "Why do we need to learn this?" The speakers came in to talk about what subjects they use in their current profession that they never thought they would! This included math and fractions through reading a tape measure, ELA/grammar through writing/reading manuals, science through using the scientific method, communications, and public speaking.
Speakers included:
Jerry Duncan: Auto Car Designer for BadBoy
Adam Robbins: Head of Electrical Maintenance at Future Fuel
Josh Settimio & Kayla May: Real Estate Professionals
Jacob Heinrich: Mechanical Engineer at Future Fuel
Kervin Flores: Purchasing at Future Fuel
A big thank you to all of them for taking time out of their day to come speak to our students!
