Students in grades 9-12 were able to participate in the Osakis High School 2024 Career Expo this week. There were over 50 businesses that were willing to come in and talk to students about their careers. Of those participated, over 30 of them are graduates of Osakis High School. Some were not able to be in the picture shown. What a great demonstration of Osakis pride! Thank you to all who participated and made this event come together. Thank you to the students-several comments were made about how respectful you all are!
