NRHS Holds Future Fair

North Ridgeville High School was excited to host its annual Future Fair on Friday, February 21. Designed for students in grades 9-12, this event offered a dynamic opportunity to explore post-graduation pathways and connect with industry professionals. Students attended career preparation and exploration workshops all day and the Future Fair “Convention Floor” was open from 10:15 a.m. to 2:15 p.m.

The Future Fair serves as a bridge between education and the workforce, bringing together local businesses, agencies, and military branches to showcase the diverse opportunities available to students. Through hands-on exhibits and direct interactions, students gain valuable insights into potential career paths.

To maximize their experience, students were prepared in advance by researching exhibitors and developing a personalized plan for the event.

The four Es–Enrollment, Employment, Enlistment, and Entrepreneurship–remain the foundation of the Future Fair, ensuring students receive a well-rounded perspective on their post-graduation options.

Lee Armbruster, Director of Community Partnerships and the driving force behind this event said, “We are thrilled to welcome nearly 100 exhibitors representing industries such as manufacturing, skilled trades, healthcare, finance, government, higher education, and the military. Our goal is to provide students with real-world, high-demand career insights through interactive exhibits and workshops that inspire their future decisions.”
