MUSTANG MINUTE
Freshman Career Expo
October 1, 2026
The Mission of Chugiak High School: Inspire Students. Excel Academically. Strengthen Community.
Good Afternoon Mustangs,
The 3rd Annual Freshman Career Expo is coming up on Friday, October 2, 2026. All freshmen enrolled in College and Career Exploration will travel by bus to the Dena’ina Center in Anchorage to explore future career pathways and discover opportunities beyond high school.
Students will visit 100+ booths featuring Alaska businesses and organizations, engage in hands-on activities, and connect with professionals across a wide range of industries. It is a wonderful opportunity for students to spark curiosity, discover new interests, and see how their classroom learning connects to future goals. We encourage families to chat with their students beforehand about what they hope to discover at the event.
