Damascus Middle School

On October 22 students from Damascus Middle School were one of the first two groups of students in our region to experience the new Career Commons in Abingdon. Students were able to engage in hands-on activities throughout the innovative experience to gain a better sense of skills and knowledge needed in a variety of occupations. Through the engaging event, students were able to acquire a better understanding of future vocational paths available to them in our area and beyond. In a show of continuing support to the Damascus community, the staff at EO were kind enough to also give all DMS students an “Appalachian Strong” t-shirt which was designed specifically to raise funds for flood relief.
