Community Engagement

Community Engagement is a comprehensive career exploration and service-learning program that connects high school students with local businesses and nonprofit organizations through a variety of meaningful interactions.

Students gain firsthand exposure to different career paths while building relationships with potential employers and mentors.

Guest speakers share their professional expertise and industry insights directly with students in the classroom.

Students participate in volunteer activities at these partner organizations, allowing them to develop practical skills while making positive contributions to their community.

Internship opportunities enable students to earn academic credit while gaining valuable real-world experience, creating a bridge between their academic studies and future career aspirations.
