Career Connections Summer 2025
Mrs Bucciarelli IHS Career Connection Coordinator
We did it ! Another school year comes to a close and it is time to celebrate the class of 2025! Congratulations to our seniors - we wish you all the best. Fly like an Eagle! It is now time to recharge and refresh so we can come back ready in the Fall to turn the page and start anew. The Career Center was a busy place this year and is being utilized more than ever! We appreciate all of our community partners who help us provide amazing opportunities for our students. The College and Career Center operates on the school year calendar and is closed in the summer months. If you need a work permit in July and August - you may go to the counseling center which is open year round to get one. Have a great summer ! Stay tuned for opportunities as soon as school starts in the Fall. Follow us on X (twitter) @ihscareer center
