PCIS symposium helps students explore career interests
The Prosper Career and Independent Study program held its annual business symposium for students in the Prosper and Rock Hill programs Oct. 20 at 8:15 a.m in the community center of the PISD Children’s Health Stadium. Students virtually interviewed professionals from a variety of careers and received the opportunity to learn more information about their career interests. The Prosper program is taught by Tiffany Ballard, and the Rock Hill program is taught by Coshari Chacchia. Students interested in joining the program can apply toward the end of each school year to join the following year’s program.
