  • Selecting a career path can be one of the major decisions a high school student must make. Proper planning may involve job shadowing, where students can experience a day in the profession in which they have interest. Job shadowing is not permitted the last two weeks of the semester. 

  • Juniors and Seniors will be allowed up to two excused absences each year for job shadowing.
