Over 70 community professionals attended to speak with Eagle students about a variety of industries and career paths.
The career events were followed by a college fair in the quad, where university representatives shared information about enrollment and programs.
Overall, it was another successful event focused on connecting students with opportunities beyond ESHS.
Thank you to all the local professionals and representatives who made the day such a success!
Christina and Jason first met at El Segundo High School. Even though there was a two-year age difference, they had mutual friends since Christina’s brother was in Jason’s grade. Christina even drew a heart around Jason’s yearbook photo, though she didn’t think he’d ever see it!
After graduation, they continued to run into each other—at community college, mutual friends' events, and local spots like the Tavern. Eventually, they reconnected over breakfast and a walk on the beach.
Now, almost 10 years later, they’re happily married with an amazing son and will celebrate six years of marriage this year! 💙
