Morenci School District

Yesterday, Morenci High School and Duncan High School Junior and Senior students had a fantastic opportunity to explore the world of Freeport McMoRan at the 2024 Career Day event! From electricians to chefs, baristas to environmentalists, diesel mechanics to accountants, and global supply specialists to more - our students got a firsthand look at the diverse range of careers within the mine and townsite. The day was filled with hands-on activities, allowing our students to experience each role personally. And the best part? There were tons of fabulous giveaways and prizes that made the day even more memorable! Thank you to the incredible team at Freeport McMoRan for organizing such a captivating event. We truly appreciate your commitment to investing in our student's futures and providing them with invaluable insights into the world of work. #becauseofyou #wearemorenci
