Posted January 11, 2013
Approximately 400 high school students from Springfield in grades 10 through 12 were invited to Western New England for the annual MassMutual Building Your Future Conference on January 8. The event gave students the tools and knowledge to construct a blueprint for their education and careers. Students earned an invitation to the conference by maintaining a “B average or better” for four consecutive marking periods during grades 10 through 12.
During the luncheon, students were addressed by Terrell Hill, principal at High School, Inc. In addition, students took part in a video contest and raffle featuring a laptop, flat screen television, iPod,and other prizes.
