An Internship is any experience where students learn by taking on responsible roles as workers in organizations by observing and reflecting on what happens while they are in the workplace. The Internship Program is a supplement to formal classroom instruction. Its intent is to add significantly to the vitality of the instructional program and impact the courses that a student has taken or will take. The expected outcomes of this experience for the students include an increased self-esteem and personal growth derived from successfully meeting new interpersonal and intellectual challenges, acquired new skills and knowledge, increased exposure to various work roles and career choices, increased understanding of the relationship between school-based learning and the work experience, increased opportunities for high school students to explore areas of academic, career, or service interests, and the development of positive relationships between the Internship Program and the school and the community.

Can I just leave campus and go to work and forget about Internship requirements? SRHS does not grant early release unless a student is pursuing an academic endeavor. An Internship provides students the opportunity to connect previous studies with the real world.
Will the Internship grade really matter? Yes, this grade does matter. It is reported on your transcript.
Can I use two Internship sites and combine the hours? An Internship requires a student to be at one site. Should a student be involved in an Internship more than one term, they may choose a different site.
Can I remain on campus and work in the media center during the periods assigned as Internship? Students are given release time to leave campus for the Internship. They are not to remain on campus, even in the media center. During the assigned Internship period, they should not be on campus at all. If they need to be on campus, they need to take a class on-campus and not an Internship. Students may participate in after-school activities but would return to campus after the Internship period for the event.
