Internship
Internships are a great way for high school students to get experience, gain new skills, and learn more about different jobs and career fields. Talk to your high school counselor to determine if an internship is right for you.
Who's Eligible? Any 11-12 grade student who is on track for graduation. Any internship is a semester long, or summer long, commitment and will have it scheduled into their school day as an elective credit.
Students are required to apply and interview during 2 different portals, or time periods. Mrs. Hardersen can assist you with the application process. Not all students are ready for an internship and may not be accepted into the program.
