Students at Elk Run Elementary learned that college is an important stepping stone to landing a successful career during an annual assembly devoted to higher education.

With their teachers dressed in graduation caps and robes, the students were given a taste of what awaits them just a few years down the road in high school and college.

Members of Cyprus High School’s student government and Superintendent Bates provided additional insight about career aspirations and the level of academic work required to navigate school and the workplace.
