At RHHS in Ms. Tussey's Career Explorations class, we have MANY guest speakers throughout the semester that talk about their career paths, their current jobs, advice on interviewing, and various life skills. We have some that are in-person and some virtual guest speakers.

-- JEREMY BUSCH: Assistant Athletic Director for Sports Medicine who is the Head Football Athletic Trainer for the University of Illinois Athletics
-- BAILEY WHITE: Owner and operator of Bailey's Salon & Spa
--TIFFANI HIGGINBOTHAM: Vice President, Retail Operations Officer of Casey's State Bank
-- HEIDI MALLIN: Special Projects Manager of Lucas Oil Stadium
-- KEVIN ALEXANDER: Enlisted Accessions Recruiter of the United States Air Force
-- TRENT MASTERSON: Lawrence County Sherrif
-- DANNY ASH: Bridgeport Chief of Police
At RHHS in Ms. Tussey's Career Explorations class, we invited the team from the Illinois Extension program to teach about basic personal finances. They ran a real world simulation where students got to choose a career path, see what their paychecks would be, decide what type of housing to live in, and what car to drive, etc. They discussed how to write checks, creating a savings, and pay bills. They also had to decide whether they wanted pets or kids and deduct the corresponding amount for those costs too.
Lastly, the students were tasked with deciding if they wanted various entertainment, utilities, groceries, clothing, and even had a “chance” pile where a life event would happen and could either add to their balance or deduct from it. Once completed, students had to tally their totals to see if they had money left over at the end of the month or if their bank account was negative. To say we learned a lot is an understatement! It was definitely an educational experience!
