Louisville High School Career Expo 2008 Showcases 26 Professionals, Many Alumnae Participate

Woodland Hills, CA (March 5, 2008) - Louisville High School held its first Career Expo on March 5th, 2008. The 26 professionals, including seven alumnae, brought with them a real trade-show atmosphere as they engaged students in conversations about the excitement, challenges and educational requirements of their careers. This new format allowed students to browse the Expo asking questions, making connections and discovering new interests. Sr. Maria Goretti, S.S.L. of Louisville’s Guidance Department ensured that a wide range of fields were represented, including both men and women for a broad and realistic experience for the students.  

Alumnae who participated in the event included interior designer Lynda Murray ’83, Ventura County Superior Court Judge Patricia Murphy ’80 and Children’s Hospital nurse Laurie Newton ’81. In all seven alumnae participated with the hopes that more will attend in coming years.

Physics teacher Mr. Jim Centorino observed, “Students asked a wide variety of intellectually profound questions. Some visited a wide variety of representatives collecting information, while others focused on one or two careers in great detail.”
