March 11, 2015 – Hollywood, SC – Business partners from throughout the community invested their time this morning in Baptist Hill Middle High School classrooms.

Students moved through several rotations and heard from a variety of career day speakers. The event, organized by the BHMHS Guidance Department, allowed students in middle and high school grades to learn about a wide variety of careers and the steps each presenter took to achieve their success.

A common set of traits echoed in each classroom – Work ethic, finding your passion, and continuous life-long education.
