It’s never too early to start planning for the future! So students at E.C. Brice Elementary began thinking about their possible futures on Thursday, March 21 when they attended the Brice Career Expo. Representatives from ten local businesses set up tables in the Brice gym so that students could learn about college, the military, and different areas of the workforce. The students rotated through each business and were able to ask questions and learn more about having a job when they get older.

Business and their representatives included:

Castillo Realty—MPHS graduate Suzie Castillo with Theresa Preciado and Eliana Mejia

Chick-Fil-A—MPHS graduate Melanie Knight and Wendy Standridge

Chillz on Wheelz—MPHS graduates Rachel Narramore and Sarah Flanagan

East Texas Children’s Dentistry—MPISD Board member Dr. Kenny Thompson

Mount Pleasant Fire Department—MPHS graduates Cody Craig and Chase Higginbotham

Northeast Texas Community College—MPHS graduate Ja’Quacy Minter

Photo Booth Graphics—MPHS graduate Clay Moore

Texas Department of Public Safety—MPHS graduate Trooper Edgardo Godoy

Titus County Sheriff’s Office—MPHS graduate Corporal Ashlyne Godoy

U.S. Army Recruitment Center—PFC Samuel Hampton and Staff Sergeant Ramiro Herrera

If you or your business would like to participate in the future, contact Jana Moore at E.C. Brice Elementary.
