A crop of smart and talented youth were able to get more insight into their professional ambitions this past week. On April 24, Santa Monica High School hosted the Samohi Futures Fair on campus, with a host of local businesses coming out to share information and possibilities with Samohi students.
Put together by former Santa Monica City Councilmember Greg Morena, a committee of Santa Monica Chamber of Commerce members and Samohi leadership, the fair included businesses in five distinct fields: Hospitality, Retail, Real Estate, Technology and Government.
Represented at the fair were companies like Snap, Inc., Regent Santa Monica Beach, Dogtown Coffee, UCLA Health and McCarthy Building Companies.
In addition, Samohi seniors were able to take part in a flex-time panel that included Santa Monica Mayor Phil Brock and Mayor Pro Tem Lana Negrete.
