Graduation season is here, and for many seniors, the biggest question is: “What’s next?” In our latest district podcast episode, we hear from three seniors whose journeys reflect our focus on the “three E’s” after graduation: enrollment, enlistment, or employment. 🎓

Featured guests include:
- Myah Evans (Deep Creek High): U.S. Navy enlistment
- Parker Sylvia (Western Branch High & Chesapeake Career Center): welding certification and employment with Collins Machine Works
- Sophie Rambo (Grassfield High): University of Georgia track scholarship athlete

From military service and skilled trades to college athletics, each student shares how preparation, mentorship, and opportunity helped shape their next step after high school. Listen at cpschools.com/amplified or wherever you get your podcast. 🎧 🎉
