Career & College Experiences at PGHS

During each semester three educational experiences will take place with the goal of exposing students to educational or employment opportunities. The experiences can take the form of a tour of a College or University, a Community College or Technical School, and an employer work site. Registration for these tours is voluntary and open to the students.
