The Work Experience Program allows the opportunity to combine the completion of the high school program with entry into the job market. Students are released from school each day to go to their location of employment. Students must provide their own transportation to their site.
An Administrator supervises the process of entry into the program. The Administrator also meets with the job supervisors of the students.
Acceptance into the Work Experience Program is based on the following factors:
Graduation in that academic year is a realistic goal
The job is coordinated with the purpose of the Program and can be of benefit to student growth in work endeavors.
Parental approval
Approval of an Administrator, who administers the program and recommendation of the student’s school counselor .
* Students finally selected into the program will have their schedule altered to include two classes per day for the 3 credit course and three per day for the 2 credit course.
Note: It is understood that the parent or guardian must be aware of the number of credits a student has and their status in relation to their graduation. If for any reason the student comes out of the work experience program, they will be required to carry a full class load at Portsmouth High School.
** Because of the amount of credits involved in the work experience program and the limited number of academic classes taken, a student who encounters difficulty in either the work experience program (such as termination) or academic program may find themselves without required school credits toward graduation.
