Juniors and seniors have unlimited opportunities to attend these sessions with teacher permission.  If a visit is scheduled during a time when you have a class, you should get your teacher's approval in advance of attending the information session.  You are responsible for all missed work and teachers are not supposed to excuse you from tests, quizzes and labs.  The Counseling Center secretaries will be able to give you a pass back to class after you have finished meeting with the college representative.

Freshmen and sophomores are also invited to attend the sessions with the college representatives, but are limited to participating in visits that take place during your lunch or Academic Prep periods.

Don't miss out on this opportunity to meet with the college admissions officers!

Worthington Industries Workforce Experience Partnership

worthington industries inverse logoWorthington Schools is partnering with Worthington Industries to prepare students for jobs within the manufacturing industry after graduation.  The goal is to create a pathway for students who do not plan to attend a two or four-year institution directly out of high school, but would like to go straight into the workforce.  During students' senior year, they will work directly with Worthington Industries to gain exposure to the company and acquire career-ready skills.

 

The attached flier features more information about this exciting new partnership opportunity.

 

Senior students and their parents interested in learning more about the Worthington Industries Workforce Experience partnership are invited to attend an informational meeting on Monday, October 28 at 6:30pm in the WKHS counseling center.  Worthington Industries will be present to answer any questions.  We look forward to seeing you there!
