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.

Pd. 4 Tue. Jan. 21st

Hello All!  Hope you had a great 3-Day weekend!  We're having to make some changes to our script, and hence our Production Schedule, so today will look a little different:

1. We'll watch the Academy Promos that your teams created last week.  Nice job!
2. We'll grade the reading questions that you completed on Friday.
3. We'll ALL read the script rewrites and begin planning Production.  Art Dept. will need to create 2 new set sketches (including Dec and Props), Camera Dept. will have to devise lighting plans and Storyboards, and Talent will have to rehearse new dialogue.

On Thursday, we'll finish constructing our interior set in the Studio, so come prepared to help paint!
