Union City High School conducted its sixteenth annual Career Day on May 29. It was a day of information and opportunities for students to explore various careers.
Approximately 150 speakers, including alumni, Hispanic and Latino Associations, and governmental agencies, shared their personal occupational journeys.
A wide variety of careers was presented to the entire student body in both English and Spanish. Every student had an opportunity to attend three sessions of his or her choice.
