Co-Op (Work-Based Learning)
Co-Op Information
Co-op is for Juniors and Seniors who wish to work during school hours and receive school credit for it.
- Students may co-op either one or both semesters.
- Students may schedule up to two blocks of co-op each semester they are enrolled in. Three blocks are permitted with teacher and counselor approval.
- Eight work hours per 7 day week are required for each co-op block a student takes. Weekend hours do count towards the total number of hours needed.
- Students are required to log work schedules each week.
- Students are required to upload copies of all pay statements received while enrolled in co-op each month.
