Hillsboro High School juniors and seniors recently attended our 7th Annual Student Job Fair, also known as the Senior Showcase.
Thirty-seven local businesses and agencies participated in the networking event, allowing students to connect with prospective employers and develop and practice essential soft skills.
An additional highlight of this year’s event was that 21 of the 37 participating businesses and agencies were represented by Hillsboro High School alumni. This serves as a reminder of how networking events build community connections and keep talented professionals engaged and invested locally.
