As part of “College and Career Week” at Gause Elementary School, held Jan. 8-12, students participated in a variety of activities aimed at preparing them to think about graduation, careers and college.

“As we work to ensure all students are college and career ready, our goal is to introduce students to careers early so they link the importance of education to obtaining their dream job,” said Gause Principal Renae Burson.
