Each November, in celebration of American Education Week, business and civic leaders come into classrooms at Evans High School to talk with students about academics, careers, and the future. This year, Teach-in had its largest community participation yet. On November 18th, students in grades 9-12 had the opportunity to hear from and talk with industry leaders
from a wide variety of organizations and businesses in Central Florida, including Orange County Government, Onyx IP, Valencia College, Hebni Nutrition, Orlando Magic, SMILE Ice Cream, The Midtown Press, Jobs Partnership of Florida, Orlando Health and more. Presenters spoke with over 750 students in more than 30 classrooms and when asked, students
described their sessions as: “I loved it;” “I would love to have him come back again to do another lesson;” “It was life-changing and encouraging;” and an “uplifting and a powerful message.” If you are interested in joining us for next year’s Teach-In or volunteering to share your career story with our students through one of our career conversations, please contact evanshub@chsfl.org.
