Pana High School is continuously working to provide their students with the lifelong skills necessary to be successful in any field, whatever that may be. Preparing students for a job or interview setting is no small feat. That starts with the basics, explains Jeni Tackett, Director of Student Services at Pana High School. Teachers and staff have begun teaching those that are of workforce age, tips and tricks like: proper handshakes, appropriate attire, eye contact, non-verbal communication, and more.

These valuable skills are being put to the test with Pana High School's Student Job Fair and Mock Interview Day. Tackett invites local businesses to meet with their kids and help establish connections between them and their community.

Pana High School also plans to host a College and Career Fair in April. Tackett says this will be another opportunity for students to decide what college, field, or career path might suit them best.
