High School/Alumni Career Day
Friday, March 13, 2009
Our day began with a brief orientation and photo op at 12:45 PM. Next, student council members escorted the speakers to the High School floor. Students had chosen 4 speakers to listen to and they rotated through the selected speaker rooms for four 20 minute presentations by an alumni or other professional. Each presenter spoke about his or her career, the skills and abilities necessary for the job, education needed and allowed plenty of time for questions from the students. The day ended with a lively reception in the Kelly Theater.

Once again, the New Year was greeted by the annual alumni event, Life
after Lab, presented by High School Counselor Mrs. Trudy Fleisher.
Nearly 40 alumni from classes 2004 to 2008 returned to the Kelly
Theater to hear four fellow alumni honestly answer questions, give
recommendations and offer words of support regarding their experience
with college life. The panelists were: Carlos Fernandez Martinez ’07,
National Hispanic University, Jess Orloff ’08, Adelphi University,
Bryan Wood ’07, Tennessee State University and Peter Tennis ’08, Drew
University. These four graduates, as well as the alumni in the
audience, openly shared their college experiences with Lab School
Juniors, Seniors and staff. Everyone enjoyed the pizza lunch and had a
great time getting together again. It was a wonderful way to kick off
2009 and the new semester.
