Earn HS elective credit (counts towards graduation) while working!
Work Experience is an educational program available to students who are working while in high school. Students who enroll and complete the course earn 3 Palomar College Units (which are transferable to CSU's) AND 5 SMUSD elective credits per semester. To earn credit in Work Experience, the student must meet the following requirements:
1. Adhere to all due dates of assignments & attend orientation. MHHS Orientation will be at lunch on August 22 in room 305.
2. With the cooperation of the job supervisor, accomplish measured progress toward predetermined JOB RELATED learning objectives during the semester.
3. Work a total of 162 hours for the semester (average 10-12 hours/week). All paid time (including paid vacations, holidays, and overtime) may be included. Hours must be completed within the dates of the class. Students will submit a monthly report of time worked and progress made on 3 "Learning Objectives" established with their job supervisor at the beginning of the class.
During the semester, Mrs. Montooth, the Work Experience Education instructor, will visit your place of business to discuss the program and the student's progress. The student-employee will receive a grade at the end of the semester based on the job supervisors evaluation of his/her performance in accomplishing the three "Learning Objectives".
