2025 Career Day: A Resounding Success
On March 28, 2025, St. Francis hosted its inspiring Career Day, connecting students with alumnae and professionals from 25 career fields, featuring a keynote from Brandy Daniels Bolden ’91.
On Friday, March 28, we were thrilled to welcome more than 60 Troubie alumnae and St. Francis parents back to campus for our 2025 Career Day. This inspiring event gave our students the opportunity to explore a wide range of professions and begin building meaningful connections for their future. With 25 career fields represented, students attended two interactive breakout sessions and were moved by a powerful keynote address from Brandy Daniels Bolden ’91, Chief Customer Officer at SMUD.
Students walked away encouraged and empowered—one shared, “I was really inspired to think about the ‘why’ behind what I want to do.” Another noted, “It’s okay to not know exactly what you want to do in high school.” Feedback was overwhelmingly positive, with presenters sharing their eagerness to return and continue supporting our Troubies in the future.
We extend our heartfelt thanks to our generous sponsors who made the day possible: Troubie Spirit Sponsors Swinerton and the St. Francis Alumnae Board, as well as Red & Gold Exhibitors Gilbert CPAs, Reed Family Companies, S+B James Construction, and SMUD.
Looking ahead, Career Day will now be held on a biennial basis, with the next event scheduled for 2027. We look forward to continuing this meaningful tradition of connection, mentorship, and inspiration.
