The 2025 Henderson County Career Expo marked its third consecutive year of connecting students with local industries, colleges, and community organizations — and this year’s event was our most successful yet!
Coordinated by the L.E.A.P. Career Counselors of Henderson County Schools, Grace Carter, Nicki Johnson, and Jessica Wallace, the event welcomed every 8th and 12th-grade student from Henderson County Schools, along with our partners from Lexington City Schools. We are sincerely grateful for their participation and look forward to continued collaboration that benefits all students in Henderson County.
A special thank-you to First Baptist Church of Lexington for graciously providing the beautiful MAC Center as our venue. Your hospitality and partnership made this year’s event a great success.
We also extend our gratitude to Carroll Bank & Trust for sponsoring the delicious taco bar lunch catered by Jamie’s Café & Catering, and to HTeaO of Lexington for keeping everyone refreshed with a variety of free teas. 🧋
Students engaged in hands-on activities, career demonstrations, and interactive exhibits, discovering exciting opportunities in business, education, healthcare, engineering, construction, public service, and more.
