Greetings!! Welcome to the Career Center Hotspot for Chestnut Oaks Middle School. Our goal is to make learning fun and engaging while adequately preparing our students to identify and seek fulfilling career opportunities based on like interests, knowledge and preparation.
In this program, we provide vital information about how to succeed in school, college and the workforce respectfully. Students are encouraged to participate in activities, trips, events and classroom guidance, clubs, etc., all aimed at providing as much exposure as possible to existing careers, as well as, new career opportunities on the rise, to ensure they are well versed in all that is available to them.
As we adjust to the new norms that exist in the world that encompasses way more learning at home, let us be diligent in keeping our focus of teaching and preparing our students for the future, at the forefront of our thoughts.
I look forward to working with our young scholars. Let’s make this a FABULOUS year!!
