Future Educators' Day
October 16 th, 2023
Fort Hays State University’s Admissions Office and the Teacher Education Department will host the 5th annual Future Educators' Day at FHSU.
The event is open to high school sophomores, juniors, and seniors interested in becoming teachers and will allow students to learn more about the profession and what it’s like to be part of Tiger Teacher Nation at FHSU. This event is free and will include a continental breakfast and buffet-style lunch.
Admissions and Teacher Education will also draw for scholarships ranging from $200 to $1,000.
We are pleased to have Dr. Darrin Peppard as our keynote speaker! A former teacher, principal, and superintendent, Dr. Peppard is a nationally renowned author, publisher, and speaker known for his keen insight, culture-first leadership style, and dynamic personality. In 2016, Darrin was named Wyoming Secondary School Principal of the Year by WASSP/NASSP and was the 2015 Jostens Renaissance Educator of the Year.
As part of this exciting day, students will do the following:
- Learn from Dr. Darrin Peppard!
- Interact with current education majors to learn more about a “day in the life” of a Tiger Teacher.
- Learn about opportunities and organizations such as the Education Small Learning Community, Teacher Education Honors Program, Study Abroad, Study Away, and many more!
