Commack High School welcomed representatives from 150 colleges and universities as well as professionals in assorted fields, military academy reps and local businesses to its annual College and Career Fair on Wednesday night.
The event is particularly special not just because of the volume of higher education institutions that attend, but also because of the alums and Commack residents who come to answer questions about their careers.
Wednesday's fair was welcome to all Commack students and staff members and their families.
Neighboring districts also send their students with special needs to Commack's event because a wide range of transition agencies, such as New York State's ACCES-VR, have booths at the event.
Among the local officials who attended were representatives of the sixth-month-old Commack Chamber of Commerce.
The wide range of professionals discussing career paths included the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and the Suffolk County Department of Civil Service.
