The school held its annual career day, which brought in representatives from various professions, ranging from cargo pilot to chef to mortician. In total, the event had more than 50 people in attendance to speak on these career fields.
2 NEWS Today anchor Lauren Wood was one such speaker, where she spoke to students about working on-air news.
School staff say that Career Day provides students with a comprehensive understanding of the opportunities available to them.
'Giving them a more realistic experience, but also to see the variety of jobs that are out there, because they obviously know doctors and firefighters, but to see the vast variety that there can be and that some require college, some require trade school, some require just experience,' says Cara Worthen, 7th grade English teacher.
Nearly 350 7th graders participated in this year's career fair.

Southlake Carroll announces new high school principals
Two educators with years of leadership experience in the Carroll school district were chosen to replace two high school principals who left for other jobs after their contracts were not renewed beyond 2026. Shatina Lewis, who was principal at Carroll Middle, was named principal at Carroll Senior High School and Patrick Holladay, principal at Johnson Elementary, is now principal at Carroll High School. Lewis replaces Ryan Wilson, who was hired last week as the principal at Sagniaw Boswell. Holladay takes over for Christina Benhoff, who was hired May 15 as the principal at Keller Timber Creek High School. Superintendent Jeremy Glenn announced the leadership changes during Monday night's school board meeting. 'Changes in school leadership are unsettling,' he said. 'We recognize that transitions can create uncertainty,' Glenn said. Lewis was principal at Carroll Middle School for over three years. During her time as principal, she fostered academic excellence and strong community partnerships, the district said in a statement. Before becoming principal at Carroll Middle, Lewis was an assistant principal at Dawson Middle School. She began her career in the district in 2014 as an English teacher at Carroll Senior High. Holladay taught high school math for 20 years throughout North Texas. Holladay was assistant principal at the Mansfield school district's Donna Shepard Intermediate Leadership Academy for six years before coming to the Carroll school district. Glenn also announced that Stefan Benadetti, teacher of the year in 2023, is the district's choir director.

US man charged for framing immigrant in fake plot to kill Trump
Prosecutors in Milwaukee have charged a man with four felonies for attempting to frame an undocumented immigrant he is accused of assaulting, by sending forged letters in the immigrant's name with a threat to kill Donald Trump. The handwritten, forged letters were mailed to Wisconsin's attorney general, Milwaukee police and US Immigration & Customs Enforcement (Ice). The story received a flood of media attention and was highlighted by the White House and Trump's allies, but appears to have been a hoax. WISN-TV, an ABC affiliate in Milwaukee, reported on Monday that a criminal complaint alleges Demetric Scott admitted to investigators he wrote the letters threatening to kill the president in the name of Ramon Morales-Reyes, whom he was previously charged with assaulting. Related: Undocumented man accused of making threat to Trump's life may be victim of frame-up Among those who fell for the hoax were Kristi Noem, the homeland security secretary, who released a statement praising immigration officers for arresting Morales-Reyes on 22 May, one day after the forged letter was received by an Ice field intelligence officer. 'Thanks to our ICE officers, this illegal alien who threatened to assassinate President Trump is behind bars,' Noem said in a press release. Her department also released to news agencies an image of the handwritten note in light blue ink, expressing anger over Trump's deportations and threatening to shoot him in the head with a rifle at a rally. Noem also shared the letter on X along with a photo of Morales-Reyes, and the White House also shared it on its social media accounts. 'We are tired of this president messing with us Mexicans – we have done more for this country than you white people – you have been deporting my family and I think it is time Donald J. Trump get what he has coming to him,' the letter said. 'I will self deport myself back to Mexico but not before I use my 30 yard 6 to shoot your precious president in the head – I will see him at one of his big ralleys.' But the claim soon began to unravel. Last week, one of Morales-Reyes' children told an immigrant rights group that he could not have written the letters since he cannot read or write in Spanish, let alone English. As part of the investigation, officials asked Morales-Reyes for a handwriting sample and concluded his handwriting and the threatening letter didn't match and that the threat was not credible, a source familiar with the investigation told the Associated Press. Scott is currently in Milwaukee county jail, charged with armed robbery and aggravated battery. Prosecutors said Morales-Reyes is the victim in that case; he was allegedly assaulted in September 2023 with a box cutter during an attempted theft of his bike. As the case prepared to go to trial, Ice this month received the letter threatening to assassinate Trump. According to a transcript of a phone call prosecutors say Scott made while awaiting trial for assaulting Morales-Reyes, Scott framed Morales-Reyes to keep him from testifying against him. 'If he gets picked up by Ice,' Scott allegedly said in the call, 'there won't be a jury trial, so they will probably dismiss it that day. That's my plan.' Morales-Reyes works as a dishwasher in Milwaukee, where he lives with his wife and three children. He had recently applied for a U visa, which is carved out for people in the country illegally who become victims of serious crimes, according to his attorney. Morales-Reyes remains in Ice detention at a facility in Juneau, Wisconsin. José Olivares and Associated Press contributed reporting

Tottenham Hotspur coach takes Championship job with more appointments imminent
Blackburn Rovers' rivals, West Brom, have ended their search for a new head coach after sacking Tony Mowbray. Tottenham Hotspur Assistant, Ryan Mason, has penned a three-year deal to replace the former Rovers boss. The Baggies sacked Mowbray after they failed to make the Championship play-offs. Advertisement Mason has been identified as his successor and has decided to leave his role as part of Ange Postecoglou's backroom staff to take his first senior management role. He'd been part of the coaching team at Spurs for seven years under various managers. "This is a huge club with a fantastic infrastructure and an incredible fanbase, and I am excited about what we can achieve together," Mason said after being unveiled. READ MORE: Blackburn Rovers' big summer battle that could force late transfer activity "Having spoken at length to the board and those at the club I am convinced that Albion is the perfect place for me to be and I can't wait to get started. Advertisement "I will bring with me a huge amount of enthusiasm, dedication and ambition, and look forward to a positive future together at such a fantastic club." Nigel Gibbs, who joins from Reading, has been named Mason's assistant, with Sam Pooley coming in from Rangers as the club's first-team coach and head of performance. More Championship jobs could be snapped up this week with Hull City close to appointing Bosnian boss Sergej Jakirovic. He is leaving Turkish outfit Kayserispor after half a season to take the gig in East Yorkshire. After flirting with relegation when the 48-year-old took charge in January, Jakirovic moved the club well away from danger to the relative comfort of 13th place, but is now heading for his first job in English football. It is a done deal, though Hull have to wait until a visa is secured which won't be until the end of the week at the earliest. Liam Manning's move from Bristol City to Norwich remains ongoing, with legalities being finalised. When that is complete, only Queens Park Rangers and the Robins will have vacancies for next season, though Leicester City may still choose to replace Ruud van Nistelroy and Danny Rohl's position at Sheffield Wednesday seems untenable.
