Hoover High School students participated in STARS (Sharing Talents and Resources through Service) Day of Service Learning in recognition of Global Youth Service Day on May 1.

On STARS Day, our students will be in the field serving the community and shadowing professionals in specific career areas,” said Billy Kirby, Hoover High School Gear Up advisor. “While participating in this service opportunity, students will experience hands-on awareness about specific careers and learn about the needs of others in our community.”
