Academies of PCSSD seniors spent the morning putting their career skills into action at the Academy Advantage Senior Hiring Event, where they met with dozens of Central Arkansas employers, practiced real interview techniques, and explored pathways into high‑demand careers.

Our Hornets rotated through multiple interviews, asked thoughtful questions, and represented MHS with professionalism and confidence. From healthcare 🏥 and public service 🚓 to manufacturing ⚙️, business 💼, and technology 💻, Hornets had the opportunity to connect directly with companies seeking career‑ready graduates.

We’re incredibly proud of their hard work and grateful to every volunteer and employer who invested in our seniors today. #PCSSDproud #GoHornets #CareerReady #AcademiesOfCentralArkansas
