VPHS ASB Spartan Apprenticeship Program
8th GRADE FAMILIES!
Is your child attending VPHS next year? If so, we strongly recommend them to apply for our ASB Spartan Apprenticeship program. This opportunity for incoming freshmen was just introduced last year, and due to the large number of applicants we have expanded the size of our program! Over the summer, accepted applicants will attend on-campus leadership workshops and three days at the Orange County Leadership Camp at the University of California, Santa Barbara. During the school year, Spartan Apprentices will be enrolled in the ASB Leadership class. In this class they will contribute to the processes of student government and learn more about leadership through hands-on experiences. This is an invaluable opportunity that will help connect your student with like minded individuals and other successful leaders on our campus and in the community.
Due to the competitiveness of this program, it is recommended that students apply as early as they can. Online applications will close Friday, April 12th at 11:59 PM. All applicants will participate in an interview. Interview times will be announced following the closing of the online application. If your student wants to practice their interviewing skills before their ASB interview, one on one practice interviews on VPHS’s campus with an experienced interviewer are available.
