Job Fairs (Your input needed)

Dr. Trent J. Swanson, Chief Human Resources Officer, and Barry Fuxa, PR & Communications Coordinator, attended an Educator Job Fair at the University of Central Oklahoma. They had a great time visiting with potential employees, and enjoyed bragging about Stillwater Public Schools and our town. As we look to attend more job fairs and visit with more recruits, we'd love your help!
