Next Steps Events

Wheels in the Hills

Next Steps Wheels in the Hills is an event that we host system-wide where all of our fifth grade students come to one location to learn about several careers that involve wheels. At our most recent event, we had great participation from numerous businesses and partners in the community. If you would like for your business to be considered for future events such as this, please feel free to contact our Next Steps Liaisons.

UAB Cybersecurity Lab Visits

As a part of our Next Steps initiative, we have taken a group of our Cybersecurity students to UAB to tour their new Cybersecurity lab and to speak with the professors in that department. We love connecting the lessons that our students are learning in the classrooms to future opportunities that are available for them.
