Become an AHAHS Senior Intern!

If you’re interested in gaining real-world experience in your chosen career field, and you’re excited by the possibility of getting a ‘head start’ on volunteer and professional experience, sign up for a Senior Internship!

What is the AHAHS Senior Internship Program?

Atrisco Heritage Academy High School is proud to offer our on-track Seniors the opportunity to work with Business, Industry and Community Partners in a variety of career fields.  Seniors in the Internship Program spend 6 hours per week off-campus at their designated Partner Site, where they learn many of the skills, common practices, and expectations of a given career field.  Students work directly with one or more professional mentors to investigate the demands of their chosen career field.  Students have real-world responsibilities and opportunities.

How does the Internship Program work?

Students who enroll in the Program will attend class with Ms. Thomas for the first 4 to 6 weeks of the semester.  You’ll prepare a resume and cover letter, learn about Workplace Ethics & Etiquette, and research possible placement opportunities.  Together with your teacher, you will choose a Partner Site and set up your internship.  You should transition to attending your Internship off-campus, instead of your on-campus class with Ms. Thomas, by the 6^th week of the semester.  You will spend 6 hours per week at your Internship Site, and will be assigned an AHAHS Teacher Supervisor to assist you.  Your Internship continues through the 17^th week of the semester.  You must provide transportation to & from your Internship.

How long does the Internship last?

You can participate for one or two semesters.  All students are encouraged to continue their Internship through 2^nd semester.

What do I need to do if I’m interested?

Check with your Counselor to make sure you are on-track to graduate.  Only on-track Seniors are eligible for the Program.  Once you’ve registered for the class, see Ms. Thomas in D111 to discuss your area of interest.
