💚🐉 A special thank you to all of the wonderful grandparents and families who joined us for Grandparents Breakfast at HES for our 3rd graders! Thank you for starting your morning with us! 💚

Students in Dr. Saylor’s Senior Seminar class have recently been putting their job interview skills into practice through a rigorous, hands-on unit focused on preparing for the workforce. Students have worked through the full interview process, including preparation, first impressions, professional greetings, body language and eye contact, tone and communication, identifying interview red flags, strengthening responses with specific evidence, answering behavioral questions using the STAR method, and learning how to communicate their strengths professionally. These photos showcase some of the students’ recent mock interview practice, where they had the opportunity to apply what they have learned in a realistic setting. Throughout the unit, students have shown tremendous growth in confidence as they practiced making eye contact, speaking clearly, thinking on their feet, and explaining what they can bring to a workplace. They have supported one another, stepped outside of their comfort zones, and taken the process seriously while still having plenty of fun along the way. We are incredibly proud of their hard work, growth, and the young adults they are becoming! 🐉💚

💚🎶 Good luck to the Harlan Green Dragon Band as they compete today at the Cardinal Classic at South Laurel High School! Catch their preliminary performance at 12:45 PM and cheer them on as they represent Harlan with pride. We’re proud of your hard work and dedication! Go Dragons! 🐉
