For the fourth year juniors at Lincoln County High School (LCHS) have the opportunity to participate in Career Day sponsored by the Fayetteville Rotary Club and held at the Motlow State Community College Fayetteville Center. This year’s event will be held Tuesday, March 6.

Twenty-five career areas will be presented, including engineering, athletic trainer, physical therapy, nurse, veterinarian, automotive and diesel mechanic, lawyer, cosmetologist, agricultural careers, teacher, psychology/counseling, accounting and bookkeeping, architecture, game and fish warden, allied health careers, law enforcement/criminal justice, entertainer, artist/commercial art, physician, auto body repair, business careers, construction trades, pharmacist, computer careers, pilot/aerospace careers.

Members of the Rotary Club have secured representatives for the twenty-five careers. Mike Russell, director of the Motlow Fayetteville Center, and his staff have organized the program so that each junior will have the opportunity to hear three of the representatives of their choosing.

On March 6, all juniors will assemble in the Adnia Rice Theater at LCHS to hear keynote speaker Leslie Dean, who was an outstanding basketball player and Student Government President at Motlow. She graduated Cum Laude from Motlow in 2004 with an emphasis in mass communication.

Then students will board buses to be transported to the Motlow Fayetteville Center to attend three thirty-five minute sessions to learn about careers from guest speakers and ask questions about their careers of interest. Students will return to LCHS for lunch.
