Students Utilize Job Opportunities
Having a job while being in school gives students their own money and can help students understand the true value of a dollar. Holding a job at a younger age can teach skills that are needed later in life such as time management, confidence, and the importance of budgeting.
Offered at the bottom of the student announcements, there is a list of current jobs opportunities for students at HUHS.
Student Services Project Coordinator Connie Darin has reached out to businesses and helped get their information out to the students at HUHS.
“There was a need to have this information available to all students and community members so they didn’t have to go to a specific spot in the building to get a flyer off of a bulletin board,” Darin said.
Clicking on the announcements link leads to the HUHS homepage where a variety of jobs with openings are posted and descriptions on what type of skills, responsibilities, and requirements are needed for the job.
Some of the jobs that are currently available listed on the HUHS website include jobs offerings from Broan-NuTone, The Boys & Girls Club of Washington County, and Little Switzerland.
Broan is offering a temporary part time assembler, the applicants must be 16 years or older, and be able to safely lift up to 35 lbs.
Little Switzerland has job openings for students over the age of 14 years.
Junior Tyler Oman works at Little Switzerland as a cook in the café part. Taking on this big responsibility was Oman’s idea. “My parents were not requiring me to get a job at the time,” Oman said. “I had just received my driver’s license not long before I started at Switz and knew that I would need money to start paying for the new expenses that came along with driving.”
Along with local jobs offered to the students, students also have the ability to work at the high school.
Junior Kylah Hadley works as a student janitor every week day after school from 3:00-4:30. “I take care of the recycling in the English, business, library, and tech-ed hallways,” Hadley said. “I found out about this job from my mom, she found it on the HUHS website.”
Hadley has found a way to still stay actively involved in school and keep a job.
