After a year of presentations, workshops and career days, the grade 10 students at the school signed the 2015 Inspiring Futures Charter last Friday.
The program works with students over the year to show them different career pathways and to get them interested in further education.
To conclude the year of hard work, the students signed the charter, which aimed to assist every grade 10 student transition to higher education, training or employment by March 2016.
As part of the celebration, each student signed the charter to commit to the success of their future and listened to inspiring Launceston business professionals speak about their success.
Grade 10 student Maddison Campbell, 16, said that she had really enjoyed the program and now felt more ready to get out into the workplace.
"Without this program we wouldn't get a lot of the experiences that we did," Maddison said.
"I would love to be a teacher one day, I love the moment when people get something and you see that lightbulb flick in their head."
The school's principal, Craig Brown, said that he was proud of what the students had accomplished throughout the year.
"I would encourage the students to look for opportunities when they come up and to grab them with both hands," Mr Brown said.
During the presentation, Cressy District High School was presented with an $8000 cheque for the Inspiring Futures program from the Northern Midlands Council.
