Whether you're looking for a job while you're still in high school or if you're looking to line up full-time employment after high school, there are resources to help you! Contact Ms. Murray, the College & Career Counselor, to see if she has any leads. Occasionally, local businesses reach out to us to advertise positions they are hiring for. We will post these opportunities to the SRHS Counselor Social Media. The spring is often a popular time for businesses to reach out to us, as they are looking to hire students for the summer. Shadow Ridge HS partners with the City of North Las Vegas each spring to host a hiring fair for summer employment. The City will be looking to hire SRHS students to work their summer camps, run sports activities, and lifeguard at their community pools. See Ms. Murray in March if you would like more information on this annual event.
