COUNSELOR SPOTLIGHT

At Gullett Elementary School, we are dedicated to providing our students with the best opportunities for growth and development. This month, we proudly launched our career exploration program, a key part of our commitment to preparing students for their future.

Recognizing the importance of early exposure to various career paths, our counseling activities introduced young learners to a wide range of professions and industries. It was thrilling to see their curiosity and imagination sparked as they began to connect their interests and skills with future possibilities. Most students participated in a career interest inventory, which helped them identify a career cluster that might suit them. The Career Clusters included:

• Administration and Sales

• Arts and Humanities

• Business

• Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM)

• Health and Human Services

• Law, Public Safety, and Security

The highlight of our program was Gecko Career Day 2025! Our amazing community volunteers generously shared their experiences and insights with our students. These interactive sessions offered valuable exposure to diverse careers and allowed students to engage directly with our Gullett family experts.

To further support career exploration, we encourage family activities such as field trips to local businesses, universities, and other institutions. These outings provide students with a firsthand look at various workplaces and educational environments, helping them see real-world applications of their school learning and envision themselves in different roles.

We invite you to have conversations with your children about their interests and aspirations. Together, we can help our students build a strong foundation for success and fulfillment in the years to come!
