Dr. Frederick D. Haynes, III Global Preparatory Academy kicked off its College Career and Military Readiness speaker series for the 2024-2025 school year with a special visit from Annette Addo-Yobo, Miss Texas 2024.
On Friday, Sept. 6, the reigning Miss Texas spoke to 9th-and 10th-graders at the campus, sharing her journey and offering valuable advice on goal setting, seeking mentorship,
and staying actively involved in school. During her talk, Addo-Yobo emphasized the power of perseverance and education in achieving their dreams.
After her presentation, students were given the opportunity to ask questions and seek personal guidance and advice.
The CCMR speaker series, led by counselor Gina Williams, is part of a larger initiative aimed at preparing students for success after high school. In addition to the annual career day, Williams invites guest speakers bimonthly to provide students with ongoing exposure to a variety of professionals and career paths. This ensures that students, even those who may miss career day, have multiple chances to explore their options for the future.
