For their first professional presentational event, the Independent Study and Mentorship (ISM) students participated in the annual Business Symposium at Independence HS on October 2.

During the symposium, ISM first years got the chance to interview with professionals who had volunteered to attend the event. ISM 2 students assisted professionals and filled up interviewer spots where professionals were unavailable. Students from every Frisco ISD high school interviewed with two professional adults and with one second year student.

“As an ISM 2 student, I felt more at ease with the whole process than last year. It was fun to guide the newer students and teach them the professional interviewing process,” senior Aarti Aravapalli said.
