Of the 33 members of the Class of 2024, 18 Crothersville High School seniors participated in mock interviews. These interviews gave them an opportunity to interact with local business professionals and get a feel for what an interview in the real world will be like.
We feel mock interviews are a valuable experience for the students, and we appreciate the seniors who participated. We would also like to thank Crothersville school officials for allowing us to offer this opportunity to seniors and would like to thank those who helped with the interviews.
Nearly 1,700 students from all six Jackson County high schools…
