During Career Expo, approximately 635 8th grade students explored occupations by touring programs at Red River Technology Center and by participating in presentations from local community leaders at the Simmons Center including representatives from Duncan Regional Hospital, Duncan Fire Department, Halliburton, and First Bank & Trust Co.
