At Dallas Center-Grimes High School, we believe in equipping our students with the tools they need to shape their future. Our 2025 Career Day event was a driving force in this commitment to our students. We were able to bring in nearly 70 businesses/careers to interact with our students. This was an exciting opportunity for students to explore different career paths and gain valuable insight into the working world. Career Day was a memorable experience for our students that we hope will spark inspiration and motivation in each student and we are so excited to follow their future steps! A special THANK YOU to all of our guest speakers!
