Capstone internships combine a minimum of 60 hours of work or service in the community with career research, exploration, and preparation tasks. Students must apply for Capstone internships through school counseling the semester before the internship would begin. Planning is required to award school credit for work in the community.  Students cannot retroactively receive Capstone credit for hours completed outside the program. 

 

Students may serve or work at SHS or in the community as part of a Capstone project during grade 11 or 12. Students may also plan an internship during junior spring, document hours on site over the summer, and complete Capstone assessments during the fall of senior year. 

 

As is the case for all Capstone students, Capstone internship students must successfully complete a demonstration of learning presentation and final reflection at the end of the Capstone year to earn the Capstone Experience credit.
