Career Day Speakers Wanted!

3/1/2026

 
The National Honor Society is looking for parent volunteers to participate in this year's Career Day! We would love to have parents come and share their stories on March 11, 2026. Our students want to hear about what "real life" looks like and explore potential career paths.

Here are some of the details:
  • What: Career Day provides exposure to unique & interesting careers for Masterman High School students via a series of short talks (20-30 mins)
  • When: Wed March 11th from 11:00 - 3 pm (Periods 4-8)
  • Why: Masterman's NHS (National Honor Society) runs career day each year to help their members fulfill their service commitment in accordance with the NHS core values of Character, Service, Leadership & Scholarship
Members of The NHS Team will help guide you with parking and lunch will be provided! If you're interested please don't hesitate to reach out to Mr. Zimny ([email protected]) or Ms. Bego ([email protected]).

Thank you,

On behalf of The NHS Team!
