The Cooperative Career Education Program provides the opportunity
to receive career training and earn high school credit while
attending high school. During the school day, the student
attends classes at the high school. When classes are finished
for the day at the high school, students are released and
permitted to go to work. Seniors are allowed to leave school
immediately after fifth hour and juniors are permitted to
leave after sixth hour. Students receive training with pay
at an approved training station. Every effort is made to provide
training in the area of the student’s interest. Areas
of specialization in either Cooperative Education 1-2 or 3-4
include, but are not limited to: food service, production
and management, installment buying, consumer protection, labor
unions, free enterprise system, comparison pricing, occupations,
payroll procedures, employee-employer relations, interaction
between consumers and agriculture and banking, as well as
many other areas. Enrollment in these programs requires the
prior approval of the teacher/coordinator. Apply for enrollment
through the coordinator or your assigned counselor.
