NATCHEZ — Natchez High School hosted its 2025 College and Career Fair on Wednesday morning, allowing students in grades 9 through 12 to greet 58 different vendors showcasing college, career and enlisting opportunities.
This year, Natchez High implemented an academy model, a school structure that allows students to participate in learning pathways based on their chosen career. The career fair offered more chances for students to explore their chosen paths as well as exposure to other options available to them, organizers said.
“Our goal is to ensure that each Natchez High School Scholar graduates employed, enlisted or enrolled,” stated the NHS College & Career Fair 2025 Committee.
