Our sophomores recently attended the Build My Future event in Wausau, where they had the opportunity to explore different careers and learn about hands-on skills and career pathways. Students were able to connect with local businesses, try out different activities, and gain a better understanding of the many opportunities available after high school. It was a great day of exploring careers, gaining experiences, and thinking about their futures! 🎓🛠️

ATHENS & MARATHON STUDENTS PARTICIPATE IN REALITY FAIR
Athens and Marathon High Schools teamed up for our 2nd annual “Reality Fair”. The Reality Fair is a Financial Strategy simulation for students to take part in the interactive program to demonstrate the need for money management skills, exercise budgeting skills and provide an opportunity for students to connect with community business leaders.
The “Reality Fair” was hosted at Marathon High School this year on April 8, 2026. During the “Reality Fair” all juniors and School-to-Career students from Athens and all seniors from Marathon were given a randomly assigned financial snapshot, which included their monthly income and family status (married, single, children). After deducting their fair share of taxes and any other financial obligations, students then visited various booths to meet their needs and wants and build their financial strategies to help them survive or (hopefully) thrive at the end of the simulation.
The Reality Fair was sponsored by CoVantage Credit Union and local business leaders from the Athens and Marathon area, who ran all the booths including items such as housing, insurance, clothing, groceries, county government, utilities, etc.

On Monday the Welding students took a trip to NTC. On this trip they were able to see some of the programs offered at NTC. After the tour, the students were shown how to Tig weld from the NTC instructors. A bulk of the day we used to practice their own welding. It was a fun time for all of them.
