What do I want to be when I grow up????
Course selections become an important choice as early as 8th grade, and all the offerings in the Mt. Hope High School Program of Studies can get overwhelming for students and their parents.
Having a variety of classes to choose from is wonderful, but wouldn’t it be nice to have exposure to more real world experiences and to learn from people who have done or are doing what I am interested in?
A solution to this dilemma has been found.
Rogers Free Library, in conjunction with the new Bristol Municipal Career and Technical Academy, has created a program called…
Career Explorers
The focus of Career Explorers is to allow enrolled students to match their interests/talents with the learning content offered by its speaker and planned experiences. Throughout the year a calendar of events, seminars and discussion groups will be posted here for your consideration. These are open to students from Mt Hope High School, 8th graders from Kickemuit Middle School and any other Bristol 8-12 graders.
