Penn’s 2026 College/Career Fair set for Thursday, March 5

Posted on February 12, 2026

Penn High School will host the annual College and Career Fair on Thursday, March 5.
 
All juniors and seniors are required through a state mandate to attend for the entire block and their ID will be scanned to take attendance.
 
Juniors will attend G1 and Seniors will attend G2.
 
Students will not go to class first. They should go to their assigned starting area and be there when the bell rings.
 
  • Students with last names A-L will start in the Main Arena near Door D.
  • Students with last names M-Z will start in the CPA near Door C.
 
Students with Dismiss, WBL, EACC, Vogue, etc are required to be at the Job Fair for their assigned time.
 
This fair is primarily for current or future jobs, and exploring college opportunities, including: Part-time, full-time in the summer, Work-Based Learning (internships) during school, careers for after graduation, careers for after college, colleges options.
 
Even if there is not a company or job a student is expecting at this event, students can learn important information about related careers and practice employability skills.
 
Construction companies have finance departments, hospitals have lawyers, manufacturing facilities have engineers, colleges have grounds crews, most students who attend college change their major or drop out of college and enter a different career field, many adults go back to college or attend college later in life for different or additional careers … Even our college bound students will be entering the workforce eventually.
 
This opportunitie helps our students think ahead not just to college/training, but beyond that to a career. That makes this fair much more valuable.
