As the school year came to a close and the warmer weather continued, Hall High School’s School Counseling & Career Center hosted an inaugural West Hartford Police and Fire Department Outdoor Fest.
On a bright and sunny Thursday, the back parking lot of the Hall campus housed various fun activities, interactive courses and career demonstrations, and so much more.

Students from all grades were able to attend, participate, and learn more about career opportunities within both departments, but for many it was so much more. Principal Dan Zittoun commented that he and many other faculty members were able to see “so many positive interactions with our community members, first responders and Hall students.”
