High School Student
It’s never too soon to plan for your career in education. There are so many opportunities to work in a school setting and get a sense of whether the education path is for you. High school students have a perspective of K-12 schooling that is reflective of their own recent experiences and can contribute positively in the K-12 educational setting whether it is as a classified or certificated employee. We invite you to consider the many options!
