There are choices when preparing for life after high school.
The CO-OPERATIVE EDUCATION program is a joint effort between the school and community which provides learning experiences outside the classroom. Students work, under the supervision of employers and teachers, in real work job sites. Specific subjects, related to the workplace, must be completed along with the co-op placement.
The program provides an excellent opportunity to gain work and employability skills for students interested in entering the workplace directly from high school or needed experience to enter some college programs. Participation in cooperative education generates credits towards graduation requirements while providing this experience.
Students may enroll in one, two, three, or four credit packages. Students are able to work, particularly in their senior year, for a full day to gain the full-time work experience.
