- Job Shadowing
- All senior students at FHS have the opportunity
to job shadow a professional in a career of their choice during

individual interests of the student. Interested students apply
for this experience through the Career Support Center, and an
individual mentor is arranged for every student on an assigned
day. At that time, the student shadows their mentor in the workplace.
(This experience does not count as an absence against the student).
Past experiences for our students have included the fields of
accounting and engineering, law and medicine, business and architecture,
music and theatre, and many more. See Mrs. Mulder or Mrs.Wells
for further information.
