Career Day Success

The Counseling Department recently hosted its annual career fair, which saw the participation of more than 40 professionals from various fields.

What made this year's event stand out was the presence of parents and alumni who volunteered their time to share their experiences with students. According to Rachel Pupiales, the Middle School Counselor and presenter liaison, having alumni and parents presenters was a great opportunity for students to engage with professionals who are making a difference in the community. It also inspired students by showing them that they too can achieve their career goals.

Special thanks to all those who volunteered and who continue to give back to Damien Memorial students.  You folks are our guiding light and our students look to follow the path you've blazed.
