CTE WINTER INTERNSHIP OPPORTUNITIES

The BISD Career & Technical Education (CTE) Department is coordinating unpaid internships with several local employers/organizations. Students at BHS and EHHS who are interested in interning are invited to apply to the program. This program runs from February-April 2024 (unless otherwise noted). Students will be scheduled at the worksite for interning on Mondays from 2:00 – 4:30 pm. (unless otherwise noted). 

Each internship includes interactions and planned activities designed to give the students exposure to multiple aspects of the business/organization where they are interning and an authentic sense of the work, skills, and challenges that come with it. Students are responsible for their own transportation to and from the internship work site (and any other related work locations if applicable) and must commit to attend all of the planned weeks of the internship. 

Student applicants must be at least 16 years old. Resumes are due Friday, February, 9th. Please click here for a list of the local organizations that are offering unpaid internship slots for the Winter 2024 Program. Please visit the CTE Internship web page for forms and next steps to apply. Visit the Career Center located in the BHS Library for questions. For more information you may also contact Ms. Hermanson directly, shermanson@bisd303.org. 

Spring Sports Registration is open! Please register early to ensure you’re cleared for tryouts which start Monday, February 26. The Athletics office is closed over mid-winter break.  Athletes need to register online and have a sports physical and concussion baseline on file BEFORE trying out or they will not be allowed to participate until their registration is complete. We are now using the registration platform Final Forms. Detailed instructions for Parent/Student Registration can be found on the BHS Athletics website. Parents must create a family account before an athlete will be recognized as an active student. Students cannot register themselves.
