East Hampton High School hosted its annual career fair Tuesday morning, introducing students to businesses looking for help as the summer season swiftly approaches, and giving students headed into the world of work after graduation a chance to find an opportunity locally.
At a meeting last week, Joshua Odom, the school principal and superintendent, talked about what the district hopes to accomplish with the project, fielded questions about the high price tag, and explained the need, noting that the school has “not had a significant investment since 2000.”
