Part-time jobs help high school students gain "real world" experience and develop important college and career readiness skills. The Career Center offers individual counseling and group workshops to help students who are seeking employment. Students will learn basic phone and email etiquette, tips on finding a job, and help with employment applications.

Working Papers

Students under the age of 18 who obtain employment can get working papers from Mrs. Dayton in the Career Center or from Mrs. Petersen or Mrs. Gootnick in the School Counseling Office. In order to receive working papers, students must show a promise of employment stating the name of the employer, job title, hours, and a brief description of the job for which they have been hired. This promise of employment must be on company letterhead and signed by an employer representative.
