Career Day at Hesperia High

Sheila and I spent the morning in the Hesperia High School gymnasium (where I happened to overhear Mr. Porras’ announcement over the PA system that he had been named the principal of Oak Hills High School, which was convenient) at this year’s Career Day.

Last time I did it, I was just pointed at a classroom of kids who, frankly, didn’t seem particularly interested in journalism (or any career), and it didn’t go great.

This time around, Sheila and I had our own table, and despite the lack of adornment — we were apparently the only outfit that didn’t realize how it was going to work this year — we had a fair number of kids coming up to ask about journalism or ad sales. I suspect we’re going to get a few interns out of it.

Next time, though, we’ll bring copies of the paper, our big vinyl banner and some free schwag. In other words, we’ll unleash Sharon on the table.
