Job Searching Tips

SLHS works with local businesses to support and advertise jobs for high school students. We update flyers weekly for students to apply to local job positions. It is important that all students have an entry-level resume and cover letter template prepared that accurately highlights their skills to potential employers.
We offer the following services to help support students to find jobs, internships, etc. that will help them take a step toward their professional goals.
