Freshmen, sophomores, and juniors are assigned to work in the morning once per week where they are given ongoing support from their job coaches, while seniors choose their placement sites, travel independently, and work the entire school day on Fridays. The guidance counselor also helps students discover potential career aspirations and assists with their future college planning or other post-secondary endeavors.
