"Made in Your Backyard" with D155

Description

Community High School District 155 is excited to partner with the Cary-Grove Area Chamber of Commerce, local businesses, and our feeder districts for the “Made in Your Own Backyard” event. This open house event is a localized version of MFG Day, a national day of recognition to inspire a future generation of manufacturers. The event aims to increase awareness of unique products manufactured locally; and educate parents and middle and high school students about the diverse manufacturing field and career opportunities in our communities. Together, parents and students will learn about the relevant coursework offered by our high schools and gain information about the career paths and tracks involved in being employed by one of these successful local companies. Students and parents will board a bus to tour and learn about various manufacturing companies, including General Kinematics, Mathews Company, Precision Waterjet, and Swiss Automation.
