David Lotzenizer, superintendent of Higley Unified School District (4248), said Williams Field High School will host a college and career fair at 4:30 p.m. tonight to connect families with colleges, employers and trade schools.
The event is part of the district's College and Career Ready Scholars initiative, Lotzenizer said, a program the district describes as beginning in elementary school and continuing through advanced placement, dual enrollment and career and technical education pathways to give students exposure to post‑high‑school options.
Lotzenizer, speaking from Williams Field High School, said the fair will give families an opportunity to meet representatives from colleges, employers and trade schools and to learn about “opportunities post high school.” He closed his remarks by thanking the community: “Thank you for choosing Higley, and remember, together we got this.”
The district did not specify the number of participating colleges or employers in the announcement, nor did the superintendent provide details on follow-up events or registration requirements during the remarks. Lotzenizer emphasized the program’s continuity from elementary grades into high school through AP, dual‑enrollment and career‑technical education pathways, describing those elements as ways for students to begin college coursework or explore career options while still in school.
Parents or families planning to attend should go to Williams Field High School at 4:30 p.m. tonight for the fair; additional logistical details were not provided in the remarks.
