5TH GRADE CAREER PORTFOLIOS
The State of Georgia requires all 5th grade public school students to complete a Career Portfolio. This portfolio encourages students to begin researching potential career choices.

Students will complete a state required essay and presentation. More information will be sent home with the student throughout the year.
