From MakerSpaces and field trips to job shadowing and Academic Houses, the foundation of the Starkville Oktibbeha School District's strategic approach to career exploration begins with our youngest Yellow Jackets and prepares students through experiences at each PreK-12 level to achieve success after high school.
