Today, students from Assumption Jr./Sr. High School and École Notre Dame High School explored future pathways at the Lakeland Regional Career Expo!

With a wide variety of exhibitors and hands-on opportunities, students had the chance to connect with industry professionals, ask questions, discover career possibilities, and gain valuable insight into future education and workforce opportunities right here in our region.

Events like this are important because they help students build connections, explore career interests, and gain real-world insight into the many pathways available to them — with opportunities that can even lead to future apprenticeship and career pathways.

The future is full of opportunity!

On Wednesday, we reflect on St. Teresa of Calcutta, whose life reminds us that faith is lived through simple acts of love and service.

“Not all of us can do great things. But we can do small things with great love.”

Her example continues to shape our faith focus at Lakeland Catholic, calling us to serve others with care, purpose, and love each day.

On Tuesday, we reflect on St. John Bosco, a champion for youth whose life was dedicated to guiding young people with faith, encouragement, and care.

“Do not let yourself be discouraged by any failure, as long as you have done your best.”

May his example remind us of the importance of supporting and uplifting one another.
